A small Nevada town was rocked on October 7, 2017, when three members of one family were found dead in separate homes. Deputies responding to a medical call at Rebecca Driver’s Tonopah Avenue residence found the 46-year-old woman deceased. While attempting next-of-kin notification, investigators went to the Evans’ home on East Third Street and discovered 67-year-old Frank Evans and his wife Coral Evans, 68, both fatally shot. The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office classified the case as a triple homicide and described it as an isolated incident.

Investigators focused on Rebecca’s recent ex-boyfriend, 48-year-old Scott Alan Baskette, after learning the couple had ended a 12-year relationship just weeks earlier. Baskette was located in Humboldt County, California, on October 10, 2017, taken into custody, and later extradited to Nevada. Court documents say Baskette went to the Evans’ home early October 7, shot Frank at the door, then shot Coral inside the house; he then took their cell phones and lured Rebecca to her home where she was killed. In January 2019 he pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree murder with the use of a deadly weapon and received life without parole.

If anyone knew Frank, Coral, or Rebecca, or has information about the events of that weekend, please come forward.
