Harold Edward Dennison Jr., a 62-year-old man, was killed on the afternoon of February 28, 2021, at the Sunshine Mountain Road home he shared with his daughter outside Williamstown, West Virginia. He and 26-year-old Beau Wasmer, his daughter’s fiancé, were in an attached garage working on a door when both were shot; Harold was pronounced dead at the scene and Wasmer died about an hour later at Marietta Memorial Hospital.

The first 911 call described an accident involving a nail gun, but deputies found firearm wounds and investigators concluded the nail-gun story had been fabricated. Hillary Paige Dennison was taken into custody the same day; during a recorded, Mirandized interview she admitted intentionally firing a gun at her father and said the shots killed both men. Evidence from the garage and witness statements supported the criminal complaint. Prosecutors later said she fired two shots; she told them she intended to kill her father but did not intend to kill Wasmer. The motive for targeting Harold was not explained with complete clarity.

A Wood County grand jury indicted Hillary Dennison on two counts of murder and the case moved toward trial. If anyone knew Harold, Beau, or witnessed events at Sunshine Mountain Road that afternoon, what information can be shared with investigators?
