In January 2015, 66-year-old June Runion and her 69-year-old husband Elrey Bud Runion left their Marietta, Georgia, home for a trip to Telfair County to inspect a 1966 Ford Mustang that Bud had been seeking. The couple never returned. Their family reported them missing when they failed to babysit their grandchildren. A search ended when both were found shot in the head in a wooded area of Telfair County; their SUV was later recovered submerged in a nearby pond.

Investigators concluded the Mustang advertisement was a ruse to lure the Runions for robbery. Police traced a cellphone used to contact the couple to Ronnie Adrian Jay Towns of McRae, who turned himself in. He was charged with malice murder, felony murder and armed robbery in connection with the deaths.

The case stalled through legal setbacks and delays while Towns remained in Telfair County Jail awaiting trial. A recent discovery of a .22-caliber rifle and a bag containing the Runions’ IDs, credit cards and a cellphone renewed interest in the investigation. Does anyone have information about the Runions’ trip or contacts leading up to January 2015?
