Four bodies were found inside a car on a remote logging road near Double Springs in Winston County, Alabama. All four victims from Savannah, Tennessee, died of shotgun blasts: 30-year-old Robert Samuel Hamrick, his 39-year-old ex-wife Kristie Hunt Campbell Hamrick, her 38-year-old brother Andy Keith Hunt, and 30-year-old family friend Kevin Carey. Handwritten notes from each person denying anticipated child pornography charges and outlining funeral wishes were found at the scene, and the group had reportedly discussed a suicide pact.

Authorities later shifted from an initial pact theory to a murder-suicide scenario. One investigative account from the Winston County Sheriff’s Office suggests Andy Keith Hunt shot the other three before killing himself with a 12-gauge shotgun; another report from the sheriff named Robert Hamrick as the shooter who then killed himself. The four had been living together in a mobile home in Savannah and had been linked to a child pornography and molestation investigation weeks earlier.
