Davie McSwain, 82, of Thomasville, North Carolina, was killed at his home on October 29, 2015, in what investigators describe as a double homicide that also took the life of his 78-year-old wife, Joan McSwain. The couple were attacked during a robbery; some areas of the house had been ransacked and a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country van belonging to the McSwains was taken and later used in other crimes.

Authorities identified Lloyd Wayne Franklin as a suspect facing two counts of first-degree murder and named Jennifer Michelle Lanning as an accomplice charged with being an accessory after the fact. The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office and the State Bureau of Investigation processed the scene with a large team and said Franklin had robbed pharmacies in several locations while on the run. The sheriff’s office asked the public to report sightings of the suspects or the stolen van.

Davie McSwain was remembered by neighbors as kind and generous, active in his church and charitable work. Does anyone have information about the McSwains, the van, or sightings of the suspects around October 29, 2015?
