Stephanie Watters was 31 when she was found dead on November 6, 2016, in a residence near Victor in Fayette County, West Virginia. She and a companion, Steven Lee Skaggs, had both been shot in the head; the house was then set on fire in an apparent attempt to conceal the crime.

The investigation produced convictions of three men. Brian S. Willis, then 32 and from Victor, was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder, first-degree arson, and conspiracy to commit murder or arson; in April 2021 he received two consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole. Charles E. Gill, 24 of Victor, was convicted of two counts of voluntary manslaughter and one count of second-degree arson and was sentenced to 40 years. Everette Gill, 57 of Berkeley Springs and formerly of Victor, was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder or arson and was sentenced to up to five years.

Few public details describe the motive or the events leading up to the killings. Does anyone have information about Stephanie’s last days or knew her in Victor?
