Jenkins Jones, 77, was killed on April 8, 1978, in Granville, Ohio. His death was one in a string of robberies and shootings attributed to Gary and Thaddeus Lewingdon, who became known as the .22 Caliber Killers because they used .22 caliber pistols and shot victims multiple times. The Lewingdon brothers terrorized central Ohio from December 1977 to December 1978 before being arrested on December 9, 1978, after a stolen credit card was used to make a purchase.

Gary Lewingdon confessed and implicated Thaddeus in all but the final killing. Both brothers received life sentences; Thaddeus Lewingdon died of lung cancer in 1989 and Gary Lewingdon died of heart failure in 2004.

What does anyone remember about Jenkins Jones or his life in Granville before April 8, 1978?
