On December 9, 2006, 30-year-old Jennifer Burgette and her fiancé Curtis Francis were found shot to death while they slept in their home on Hopper Road in Piketon, Ohio. The killings are known locally as the Hopper Road double murder. The Pike County Sheriff’s Office has pursued numerous leads and investigators believe the killer was someone who knew the couple. Robbery has been considered a possible motive, with attention on medications Curtis Francis was taking after shoulder surgery.

Despite involvement from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and periodic renewed efforts, including discovery of possible evidence such as firearms in a well on the property that proved difficult to retrieve, no arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved. Authorities believe someone may have witnessed or holds key information and continue to appeal for tips.

If anyone knew Jennifer or Curtis, lived near Hopper Road in 2006, or has information about the medications, firearms, or sightings around that time, please contact the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
