Doyle Chumney, 88, and his wife Lillian, 79, were found dead inside their burned-out vehicle after being reported missing on January 21, 2015. Their home had been ransacked, and investigators believe robbery was the motive. Authorities say the couple were bound with duct tape, driven to a rural road in Coshocton County, and shot; Lillian was reported by one of the accused to have been alive when the car was set on fire.

Two men, Robert Clark and Jeffery Stewart, were arrested and charged in connection with the killings. The case involved a multi-jurisdictional task force and prosecution by the Coshocton County Prosecutor’s Office with assistance from the Attorney General’s Special Prosecutions Section and other offices. The family expressed gratitude to law enforcement and prosecutors for their work and to the plea agreement for sparing a lengthy trial and a death penalty phase.

If anyone has information about the Chumneys, their movements before January 21, 2015, or the rural road in Coshocton County where they were found, please come forward.
