Shirley Jackson, 65, and her husband Leon Jackson, 64, were found dead at their Burchell Road home in Clay County, Kentucky, on December 9, 2015. Their pastor discovered the couple after not hearing from them for nearly two weeks and Clay County Deputies first responded when a caller reported a deceased male outside the residence. Kentucky State Police investigators and the Clay County Coroner determined both had apparent fatal gunshot wounds; autopsies were performed at the State Medical Examiner’s Office.

Investigators later arrested a family member: Gregory Jackson, 42, the couple’s son and stepson, was taken into custody days after the bodies were found on a parole violation and for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was later indicted in August 2016 for allegedly using his father’s identification to withdraw cash from an ATM on December 9, 2015. Court action has been delayed, in part by backlog related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and a Clay Circuit Court trial date has been set for April 7, 2025.

Does anyone have information about the Jacksons, their time in Manchester, or observations from December 2015 that could help clarify what happened?
