On March 1, 2020, Melissa Nale, 43, was found dead in her Smyrna, Tennessee, home on Bridgewater Drive. Andrew Geerts, 40, who was helping her move, was discovered beside her. Both had been shot multiple times with a .40 caliber semi-automatic handgun, and police concluded the deaths were a double homicide stemming from a botched robbery.

Investigators arrested four suspects on March 6, 2020: three juveniles and one adult, 19-year-old Chazz Eckford. All four were charged with first-degree murder, especially aggravated robbery, and aggravated burglary; the suspects reportedly gave statements about their roles. One 16-year-old was tried as an adult and admitted to firing the weapon but was acquitted by a jury on eight counts of murder and convicted of aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary. The cases against the other defendants were reported as still pending.

Did anyone in Smyrna know Melissa or Andrew, or have information about that night that could shed more light on what happened?
