On July 24, 2021, Susan Gail Sue Jeffries, 62, was found dead inside her Deatsville, Alabama home. Authorities say the deaths of Susan and her 84-year-old mother-in-law, Joyce Ann Jeffries, resulted from a domestic incident that escalated into a murder-suicide. A 911 caller reported that her father, William Jeffries, 64, had shot her mother and was threatening to shoot her grandmother.

Deputies located Susan and Joyce with fatal gunshot wounds and found William critically injured from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound; he later died of his injuries. Investigators concluded William was responsible and said his actions were linked to distress over his mother’s dementia. Susan is described as a kind, friendly member of the community whose death deeply affected family and neighbors.

Does anyone have memories of Susan or information that could add context to what happened that day?
