Timothy Dale McDaniels, 61, and his wife Shawn Marie Cruikshank McDaniels were found shot to death at their home outside Marlinton, West Virginia, on November 27, 2015. Relatives requested a welfare check after not hearing from the couple for several days; law-enforcement officers discovered both deceased during that welfare check. Tim was a medically retired West Virginia State Trooper who had served from 1978 until 1991 and had been wounded in the line of duty in January 1991.

Investigators noticed Tim’s black Honda Pilot was missing and soon focused on Tim’s grandson, Aaron Joseph Bussard, who was also Shawn’s step-grandson. Bussard was located the next day in the stolen Honda during a standoff in Virginia, armed with multiple firearms and later taken into custody. He was returned to West Virginia and charged in connection with the deaths and the missing vehicle.

Does anyone have information about the McDaniels family, the stolen Honda, or the area around Crow Hill Lane?
