Conney Faye Mercer-Webb, 53, of Twin City, Georgia, was found killed on September 8, 2021, after her vehicle was located abandoned off Modoc Road in Swainsboro. Family members reported that Mercer-Webb was uncharacteristically out of contact, prompting relatives and officers to search the area around where the car had been left. A door-to-door canvas led investigators to a rental property she owned, occupied by tenants Nathaniel and LaShawna David.

Officers say the Davids initially claimed Mercer-Webb had visited and left after a short conversation. As officers were departing, Mercer-Webb’s son observed the couple attempting to remove a body from the rear of the residence and summoned police. Officers stopped and arrested both tenants; Mercer-Webb’s body was recovered at the back of the property, having been stabbed and shot. The Davids were charged in connection with her death and later entered guilty pleas; both were sentenced to life with a minimum of 30 years before parole eligibility.

Did anyone in Twin City or Swainsboro recognize signs of trouble at that rental before September 8, 2021?
