Russell Dermond, 88, and his wife Shirley, 87, were found murdered in early May 2014 at their waterfront home in the gated Reynolds Plantation community on Lake Oconee, Georgia. A neighbor who entered the house on May 6 discovered Russell deceased in the garage; his body had been decapitated. Shirley was missing and was found ten days later by fishermen in the lake about five miles from the house, her body weighed down with concrete blocks and showing two or three blunt-force blows to the head.

Investigators reported no signs of forced entry and no obvious theft, and the scene combined brutal, personal violence with an absence of the usual physical chaos. Authorities searched the lake and surrounding woods, pursued thousands of leads, and examined financial and other possible motives, but no suspects have been publicly named and no arrests announced. A substantial reward was offered for information.

Does anyone living in Reynolds Plantation in May 2014 recall anything out of the ordinary or anyone who might have had contact with the Dermonds?
