On August 4, 2011, police in Fort Washington, Maryland, found the bodies of 56-year-old Patricia Mercer-Harris and her 20-year-old son, Frank Arthur Harris Jr., inside a home on the 11800 block of Hickory Drive. Both had been shot and were pronounced dead at the scene. They were found on a couch, positioned as if they were sleeping. The next day, Frank Arthur Harris, the husband and father, discovered the bodies and was questioned before being cleared as a suspect.

Investigators later arrested Patricia’s son and Frank Jr.’s stepbrother, Quindell Mercer. During his arrest he reportedly threw four guns out of a window; one recovered weapon, a Desert Eagle .45-caliber handgun, was identified as the gun used in the killings. In November 2012, Quindell Mercer was found guilty of two counts of second-degree murder and faced a potential sentence of 110 years in prison.

Does anyone in the Fort Washington area remember seeing anything unusual around Hickory Drive on or around August 4, 2011?
