Late on Monday, January 22, 2024, Moody Police Department officers responded at about 11 p.m. to a report of a possible domestic assault at a residence in Moody, Alabama. They found two people who had been shot: 61-year-old John D. Bowlin and his 60-year-old wife, Connie L. Bowlin. John was pronounced dead at the scene; Connie was alive and taken to UAB Hospital in stable condition.

The investigation led to the couple’s 35-year-old son, John Adam Bowlin of Trussville, who was located in the 800 block of Argo Margaret Road and taken into custody around 2 a.m. with help from the St. Clair County SWAT Team. He was charged with his father’s murder and the attempted murder of his mother. An initial court appearance resulted in bond being denied under Aniah’s Law as he was described as a danger to himself and the public; at a later hearing bail was set at $500,000, a decision that alarmed surviving family members. His sister Heather Bowlin said their mother was afraid he might return to harm her or someone else.

What information can anyone who knew the Bowlins or observed activity in that neighborhood around January 22 share with investigators?
