Carla Merhige, 33, was one of four relatives killed during a Thanksgiving family dinner in Jupiter, Florida, on November 26, 2009. The victims included Carla, her twin sister Lisa Knight (who was pregnant), their 6-year-old cousin Makayla Sitton, and their aunt Raymonde Joseph. Paul had purchased multiple firearms shortly before the attack and there were prior domestic violence complaints between him and Carla.

A large manhunt followed the killings and a reward was offered for information leading to Paul’s arrest. He was captured on January 2, 2010, after being profiled on America’s Most Wanted, and later pleaded guilty and received consecutive life sentences without parole. The tragedy prompted civil litigation by Makayla’s parents against Paul’s parents; an appeal later addressed whether the parents could be held liable.

Does anyone have memories of Carla or the family, or information about what led up to that night?
