On December 28, 2021, 41-year-old Ashley Edmunds Schutza and her life partner, Benjamin Smith, were found dead from gunshot wounds in their home on Boldercrest Circle in Watkinsville, Georgia. One of two children who were in the residence that day called police; the children were not physically harmed.

Investigators quickly identified a suspect known to the family: Ashley’s son, Peyton Moyer, who was 20 at the time. Authorities say Moyer fled the scene in a family vehicle but was located in neighboring Athens-Clarke County. After a brief pursuit, local police used a tire deflation device to stop the car and took Moyer into custody. He was booked into the Oconee County jail without bail on multiple counts including malice murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and cruelty to children.

What additional information can anyone with knowledge of the family or the neighborhood share about the days leading up to December 28, 2021?
