Justin David ’Jud’ Beebe, 43, was found dead at his Crow’s Nest Court residence in Athens, Georgia, on September 18, 2019, from a single fatal gunshot wound to the head. A U.S. Navy veteran and supervisor at Charter Communications, Beebe was known to friends and family for his love of music and for DJing at gatherings.

The death was initially reported as a suicide, but the Athens-Clarke County Police Department continued investigating. After nearly two years of re-examining scene evidence, autopsy materials and records, detectives concluded the wound was not self-inflicted. In August 2021 investigators arrested Beebe’s 32-year-old girlfriend, Anna Gatlin Petree, at the home where he died and charged her with murder and aggravated assault. Prosecutors pursued a theory that the shooting had been intentional and linked to an insurance policy, though a judge later excluded the policy evidence at trial.

The case went to a jury in Clarke County Superior Court; the jury found Petree not guilty of malice and felony murder, and she was released. Petree has said she witnessed what she insists was a suicide. Does anyone have information about Beebe’s last days or the Crow’s Nest Court residence that could shed light on the case?
