Darla LaDavia Gibbons, 23, was found murdered in October 2014. On October 22, employees at a rock quarry in Athens discovered a car that had been burned; human remains in the trunk were later identified by dental records as Gibbons. Investigators determined she had been shot twice in the head and that the fire was set after the killing. The white Buick Century had been a recent gift from her mother just nine days before her death.

Authorities said Gibbons had a long-term, on-again, off-again relationship marked by domestic violence with Rodricus Deuntae Ward. Investigators believe she was killed at Ward’s Greensboro home and driven to Athens. A search of Ward’s residence reportedly turned up Gibbons’ blood and a spent .25-caliber shell casing consistent with the bullets in her skull. Ward was charged with malice murder, two counts of felony murder, aggravated assault, and related firearms offenses, and was convicted and sentenced to life without parole plus five years.

Does anyone have additional information about Gibbons’ last days, where she spent time, or witnesses who might not have been contacted?
