On February 8, 2024, 66-year-old Susan Denise Arvold and her 64-year-old husband, Michael Alan Alvold were found fatally shot in their Kendall Park Drive home in Winder, Georgia. A third person who placed the 911 call was found injured at the scene and hospitalized under guard.

Authorities identified 35-year-old Cody Donavan Jones as the caller and say he is Susan Arvold’s son. Investigators announced plans to charge Jones with two counts of malice murder when he is released from the hospital. Neighbors said they had been concerned about Jones’s erratic behavior; police had been called to the home in 2023 for a domestic incident. Court actions from the previous May indicate Jones was indicted on aggravated assault and weapon possession for an alleged knife attack on his stepfather, released on bond, and spent 45 days in a mental health facility.

The investigation remains ongoing and many questions about motive and the sequence of events remain unanswered. If anyone knew Susan Denise Arvold or has information about what happened that night, please come forward with tips for investigators.
