Peggy L. White was 64 when she and her husband, Fred White, were found killed after returning to their Riggins Mill Road home in Dry Branch, Georgia, on September 11, 2021. Their daughter discovered the house ransacked, with guns, money, and a safe missing, and a search for the couple began.

A hunter heard a phone ringing in woods near the Whites’ property and found Peggy White’s body inside a truck behind an abandoned house; she had a fatal gunshot wound. Fred White’s body was located about 200 yards away at the edge of woods near Stone Creek Baptist Church; he too had been shot. Both had been married nearly 50 years and were well known in the community.

Investigators identified a suspect named Charles Rowland through surveillance footage and say he conspired with a former employee of Fred White’s construction company, Wayneaire Lester, who allegedly acted as a lookout during a burglary. Authorities charged Rowland with malice murder, burglary, and theft by taking; charges were also filed against Lester in connection with the case.

Does anyone have information about that night or about activity near Riggins Mill Road and the woods behind the abandoned house?
