Heidi Childs was 18 when she and her 19-year-old boyfriend, David Metzler, were shot and killed on the evening of August 26, 2009, in the Caldwell Fields parking lot of Jefferson National Forest in Montgomery County, Virginia. Both Virginia Tech sophomores, Heidi was a biochemistry major from Bedford County and one of eight children; David was an engineering major. Their bodies were found the next morning by someone walking dogs.

Investigators determined the killings occurred between 8:25 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. David was found inside his 1992 Toyota Camry and Heidi on the ground nearby. The weapon was identified as a 30-30 caliber rifle; Heidi’s purse with her cell phone, camera, college ID, and credit cards was missing and has never been recovered. Numerous interviews and identification of persons of interest have so far produced no arrests. A significant reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Are there any readers who were in the Jefferson National Forest area that night or who recall seeing the Camry or the couple at Caldwell Fields?
