Heather Jolene Baumgardner, 24, was shot to death at her home on Mabel School Road in Zionville, North Carolina, on November 22, 2010. Her boyfriend, 39-year-old Barry Cook, was also killed in the same incident. Heather was born May 14, 1986, and was the daughter of Jolene Lawrence Baumgardner and the late Earl Edward Baumgardner; she was the mother of two young children.

Jeremy Russom, the father of Heather’s children, was arrested later that day and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. He has been held in custody and pretrial preparations were underway, including a defense discovery request filed in December 2010. The case has been painful and quiet for the families and friends directly affected.

If anyone knew Heather, Barry, or has information about what happened at 1387 Mabel School Road on November 22, 2010, please share what you know.
