Ursula Dietz, 64, was found murdered in her Columbus, Georgia, home on October 10, 2022. Officers conducting a welfare check discovered Ursula dead in the foyer and her 19-month-old granddaughter, Elenor Dietz, deceased in her nursery crib; both had suffered multiple gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at about 2:10 p.m. Investigators located a handgun on the kitchen table and collected shell casings at the scene.

Police took 25-year-old Kevin Dietz, Ursula’s son and Elenor’s uncle, into custody the same day. He was charged with two counts of murder and one count of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and pleaded not guilty at a preliminary hearing on October 12, 2022. A judge ordered a medical and mental health evaluation, and the case was bound over to Muscogee County Superior Court. In April 2023, friend and patron Louise Ramsey assumed ownership of Ursula’s pottery studio and renamed it Bareware Pottery and Craft Studio in her memory.

Does anyone have information about the events on October 10, 2022, or about the family that could help investigators or the ongoing case?
