On the morning of August 4, 2022, Laurel, Nebraska, was rocked by a multi-victim attack that left four people dead. Fifty-five-year-old Dana J. Twiford, a white woman, was found shot to death alongside her parents, Gene and Janet Twiford, inside her parents’ home, which had been set on fire. A fourth victim, Michele Ebeling, was discovered shot in her own home, also deliberately burned.

Police arrested neighbor Jason Jones within a day and charged him with four counts of first-degree murder after alleging he shot Ebeling first, then went to the Twiford residence and shot Gene, Janet, and Dana, and set both houses ablaze. Jones suffered severe burns during the crimes. Investigators later focused on his wife, Carrie Jones, alleging she had repeatedly expressed anger toward Gene Twiford and had exchanged texts with Jason about killing him months earlier. Prosecutors say she goaded Jason to act the day before the killings and helped hide and destroy evidence afterward, including disposing of burnt clothing and deleting messages.

Does anyone in or near Laurel recall seeing anything unusual around August 3–4, 2022, or have information about the people involved?
