On July 17, 2015, 12-year-old Julian Roary Jr. and his 10-year-old brother Ian were killed in their Perry Hall, Maryland, home. Their 47-year-old father, Julian Roary Sr., was found in the same second-floor bedroom and is the sole suspect in the deaths; no arrests were made. The father’s girlfriend, Shantal Brown-Winn, heard popping sounds after midnight and discovered the scene. Julian Jr. and his father were pronounced dead at the house; Ian was taken to a nearby hospital and later died.

Friends and family described Julian Roary Sr. as a devoted, involved father who coached his sons’ teams. He had experienced significant recent financial setbacks, including losing a job two years earlier and being let go from a temporary position; a note was left behind that spoke to his state of mind. Did anyone know the boys’ routines, the father’s recent work situation, or have information that could clarify what led to this tragedy?
