Jay Allen Danford, 46, was found dead at his home in the Lake Harding community of Valley, Alabama, on Friday, August 26, 2016. Described as a fun-loving outdoorsman who enjoyed fishing, cooking and time on his boat, he was a devoted father to two children. On the afternoon of his death the Lee County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a possible shooting; Danford was discovered in a bedroom with what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene.

His body was taken to the Alabama Department of Forensic Science for autopsy. Later that evening officers responding to a vehicle wreck found a 30-year-old man with Danford’s vehicle and recovered a handgun from the vehicle. That man, identified as Chadd Van Blaircom of Valley, was hospitalized for crash injuries and subsequently arrested and charged with one count of murder and one count of first-degree theft of property; he was booked into the Lee County Jail and held without bond.

Is there anyone who knew Jay or has information about his movements on August 26, 2016?
