George Billy William Jones, 46, and his wife Kimberly Wilson Jones, 51, were found dead in their Thomasville mobile home on December 27, 2018, after the residence had been set on fire. Autopsy results showed both were shot before the blaze was started: George was shot multiple times and Kimberly was shot at least once in the head. The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office determined the fire was intentionally set to cover up the crime and opened a double-homicide investigation.

Neighbors described the couple as quiet and kind and expressed shock at the violence. No suspects have been identified and the sheriff’s office says it continues to follow up leads. Investigators noted a separate October 27, 2018 mobile home fire in Wallburg in which Dennis James Vernon, 56, was found dead and later determined not to have died in the fire; two men were arrested in that case, but any link to the Thomasville killings remains unclear.

Anyone with information about the Thomasville double homicide is asked to contact the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office.
