On March 16, 2015, two people were found shot to death inside a home on Highway 325 near Blairsville, Georgia. The victims were 52-year-old Anthony Poat and 60-year-old Marilyn Freeman Laughlin, who had bought the house together the year before after moving from Murphy, North Carolina.

Police investigation focused on Laughlin’s son, 35-year-old Cody Lee Vestal, who had been living at the residence with his mother and Poat. Vestal was located after he was admitted to a medical center in Dayton, Tennessee; officers found a firearm in his vehicle that was registered to the Blairsville address. Union County deputies conducting a welfare check at the home discovered the double homicide, and Vestal was arrested after being transferred to a hospital in Chattanooga.

Did anyone in the area know of tensions at that household or see the three together in the days before March 16, 2015?
