Royce Varnell, 61, was found dead in his Anderson, Alabama home on April 7, 2014, after a neighbor who had not seen him for several days contacted authorities. Investigators determined Varnell’s death was a homicide caused by blunt force trauma. The scene showed signs of a struggle, but personal items were left undisturbed, leading investigators to conclude robbery did not appear to be the motive and that the attack may have been personal.

Authorities interviewed family, friends and people Varnell had been in contact with in the days before his death, but no evidence publicly linked anyone to the crime. No arrests or suspects have been identified and the case later went cold, leaving the community with an unsolved homicide.

If anyone knew Royce, his routines, or saw anything unusual in Anderson in late March or early April 2014, please share what you know.
