On May 15, 2016, a house fire at 505 Rossman Dairy Road in Moultrie, Georgia revealed a far grimmer scene than an accident. Firefighters found five people dead inside the charred home; autopsies later showed all five had been shot before the fire was set. One of the victims was Ramsey Jones Pidcock, 21. The other victims were Jonathan Garrett Edwards Jr., 21; Aaron Reid Williams, 21; Jordan Shane Croft, 22; and Alicia Brooke Norman, 20.

Investigators from the Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation focused on 24-year-old Jeffrey Alan Peacock of Norman Park, who was known to the victims and had been at the house the morning of the fire. Peacock initially told investigators he left to get breakfast and returned to find the home burning; inconsistencies in his statements and other evidence led to his arrest three days later on multiple charges including five counts of felony murder and arson. A grand jury later indicted him on five counts of malice murder, firearm possession during a felony, three counts of aggravated cruelty to animals for the deaths of dogs found at the scene, and arson.

The motive for the killings is not stated. If anyone knew Jones Pidcock or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know.
