On November 8, 2004, five members of a Moultrie, Georgia household were found shot to death in what investigators described as an execution-style slaying. Victims were 29-year-old Katrina Darlene Watts Resendez, her husband Jaime Cruz Resendez, their 3-year-old son Juan Carlos Resendez, Katrina’s 50-year-old mother Betty Faye Watts, and the family’s 30-year-old housekeeper Liliana Alegria Aguilar. Four school-aged children discovered the scene when they returned home that afternoon.

Authorities linked the killings to a drug trafficking network, saying Jaime Resendez was connected to marijuana distribution and that he and his wife had cooperated with agents after an earlier arrest. Katrina and the housekeeper had been bound; autopsies showed all five died from gunshot wounds and Katrina and Jaime each suffered multiple fatal shots.

Three people were charged in the case: Jerry Johnny Thompson, Wilma Ann Yvonne Stover, and Alexander Woods III. Thompson pleaded guilty to five counts of felony murder in November 2011 and agreed to testify against co-defendant Alexander Woods. Woods was convicted at trial in May 2013 on counts including malice murder and felony murder and later sentenced to consecutive life terms. Prosecutors did not seek the death penalty in Stover’s separate case.

If anyone knew the Resendez family, the victims, or movements around Moultrie in November 2004, please share information that might still be helpful.
