Kristian Kristi Bell, 25, was reported missing after last being seen around January 20, 2019, in the vicinity of Nicholls, Coffee County, Georgia. A white female with blonde hair and green eyes, she was a mother to a young son and described by friends as outgoing with an amazing heart. Concern grew when she stopped her regular communication; her father later visited a home on the property and found some of her personal items, including a pink suitcase.

On February 9, 2019, Kristian’s body and the body of 35-year-old Steven James Ward were found buried in a makeshift grave on a property off Deep Woods Road near Nicholls after a tip from a woman living at the home. Investigators determined both victims had sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Three men were arrested in connection with the deaths: Joseph James Osburne Burch, Dedrick Allen Johnson, and Christopher Lane Jones, who faced multiple charges including malice murder and concealing a death.

Are there readers who knew Kristian, Steven, or the property near Deep Woods Road and can share information that might help explain what happened?
