Jonathan Scruggs, 34, was last seen alive on May 20, 2018, after an argument about money and his living arrangement at the Stockbridge, Georgia home where he was staying with Frank Lawler and Evelyn York. He reportedly slept on the living-room couch that night and did not resurface; he was reported missing the following day.

On May 22, 2018, Scruggs’ body was found in woods off Georgia Highway 42 and Highland Boulevard, about a mile from the home. An autopsy determined the cause of death to be a single gunshot wound to the head. The investigation soon focused on Lawler and York. Investigators say Lawler asked friends to burn the couch Scruggs had slept on the day Scruggs was reported missing; the couple purchased bleach and had their vehicle cleaned. Traces of Scruggs’ blood were later found inside their vehicle and multiple firearms were recovered in the residence.

In September 2018, Frank Albert Lawler, then 44, and Evelyn Yvonne York, then 58, were arrested and charged in connection with Scruggs’ death; charges against Lawler included malice murder and felony murder, among others, while York faced concealing a death, tampering with evidence and firearms-related charges. Both later entered guilty pleas and received prison sentences. Does anyone have information about Scruggs’ last day or the area where his body was found?
