On April 2, 2016, 79-year-old Lois Caroline Peggy Gartin and her 52-year-old stepson, Michael Gartin, were found shot to death at their home on Knob Branch in Blaine, Kentucky. The incident was ruled a double homicide after both had suffered fatal gunshot wounds.

Kentucky State Police investigators named 47-year-old relative Stanley Webb Jr. of Logan, Ohio as a suspect. Authorities allege Webb stole Lois Gartin’s Jeep Cherokee after the killings and fled the state; he was later located and arrested in Columbus, Ohio. Webb was charged with two counts of murder, accused of theft of the vehicle, and faced an additional charge of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. He was extradited to Kentucky and booked at the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center on bond totaling $2,010,000.

Law enforcement did not immediately release a motive for the killings. Does anyone have information about Lois or Michael Gartin, their time on Knob Branch, or the events of that spring evening?
