On the afternoon of August 9, 2025, two men were found shot to death in a driveway on Truesdel Road north of Spencer, Owen County. Victims were 61-year-old Jeffrey David Fauber of Quincy and his 41-year-old nephew, Grantham Adam Chandler. A sheriff’s deputy responding to a reported gunshot arrived about 3:42 p.m. and located the bodies.

A 15-year-old male subsequently walked into the Morgan County Sheriff’s Department and reported a criminal incident in Owen County. Identified as Jeremiah Dill, the juvenile is the son of Grantham Chandler and the great-nephew of Jeffrey Fauber. Upon turning himself in, he allegedly said he had killed his parents and father, claimed he was fighting demons, and said the firearms used were in the vehicle he had driven to the station. Investigators later learned Dill had previously made threats against family members, had been involved with Child Services, and had been released from a mental health facility two days before the shootings; a safety plan to secure firearms had been put in place.

The Owen County Prosecutor charged Dill as an adult with two counts of felony murder; an Owen County judge ordered the case transferred to adult court, though Dill remains in juvenile custody and a jury trial is scheduled for April 14, 2026. Did anyone in the area know the victims or have information about the days leading up to August 9, 2025?
