In June 2016, 47-year-old Brandon Cole Sr. was found murdered in a barn in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, on property belonging to 36-year-old Phillip Matthew Jackson. Both men — Cole and Jackson — were discovered with their hands bound by zip ties, had been shot, and their bodies set on fire. The killings were part of a triple homicide that also claimed 39-year-old Wendy Ann Chaney of Hagerstown, Maryland.

Investigators say Chaney was the primary target of a murder-for-hire plot tied to a drug-distribution network. Authorities allege Kevin Coles and Torey White arranged the hit after learning Chaney was cooperating with federal investigators; Cole Sr. and Jackson were killed after being present as witnesses. The plot reportedly involved hiring members of a Baltimore-based gang with promises of money, drugs, and firearms located on Jackson’s property.

The case produced multiple arrests and lengthy prosecutions, including convictions and lengthy sentences for key defendants. Does anyone have information about Brandon Cole Sr., his movements around Mercersburg in June 2016, or connections that could shed more light on who was present that day?
