On the morning of September 12, 2013, a local resident driving through the Renegade Mountain community near Crab Orchard, Tennessee, found a parked car containing four people who had been shot to death. One of the victims was 16-year-old Jonathan R. Lajeunesse, who enjoyed skateboarding, fishing, and hunting. The other victims were identified as 22-year-old Danielle Jacobson (the driver), 17-year-old Steven Presley, and 17-year-old Dominic Davis. The shootings were believed to have occurred late on September 11 or in the early hours of September 12.

Investigators from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office concluded the victims were deliberately targeted in what they described as a botched marijuana sale. Authorities identified 26-year-old Jacob Allen Bennett of Crab Orchard as a person of interest and took him into custody on a parole violation; 25-year-old Brittany Lina Yvonn Moser of Dayton was also implicated. Bennett was indicted on multiple counts including premeditated murder and felony murder; Moser faced felony murder charges and counts tied to attempted aggravated robbery. Bennett later pleaded guilty and received four consecutive life sentences without parole; Moser also pleaded guilty.

If anyone knew Jonathan, his friends, or the Renegade Mountain area around September 11–12, did you notice anything unusual that night?
