Chad Garner, 27, was found shot to death inside a storage building in Augusta, Georgia, on Sunday, June 11, 2017. Authorities treated his death as a homicide and quickly identified two primary suspects, 23-year-olds William Krepps and Vaughn Verdi, who were arrested and charged with murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.

Investigators later tied Garner’s case to the disappearance of 28-year-old Preston Overton, who had been last seen with Garner. According to the records, Krepps later admitted to killing both men and led authorities to Overton’s remains as part of a plea agreement. Krepps received two consecutive life sentences. Vaughn Verdi and Emily Stephens pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence; Verdi was sentenced to six years, and Stephens to one year in jail followed by five years probation. The motive has not been extensively publicized.

Did anyone in the Augusta area have contact with Chad or Preston in June 2017 or notice anything unusual around the storage facility that week?
