Timothy Dwayne Shatley was a 30-year-old from Grassy Creek, North Carolina, who died on November 20, 2005. He was born August 13, 1975, in Galax, Virginia, married to Kathleen Rutherford Shatley, and the father of a young son, Seth Marcus Shatley. He was studying Culinary Arts at Wilkes Community College at the time of his death.

The obituary gives no cause of death, but subsequent reporting links Shatley to a violent case: he was reportedly found shot dead near his vehicle in North Carolina. Investigators have associated his killing with Frederick Phillip Hammer, a convicted murderer with a history of violent crimes.

The circumstances around Shatley’s killing remain unclear. Does anyone have additional information about where he was found or contacts who worked on this investigation?
