On the morning of March 18, 2017, deputies responding to a call at a home on Furr’s Mill Road in Wesson, Mississippi, found 83-year-old Eugene Chester Hanks dead in his bedroom from multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators also found his 81-year-old wife, Evelyn Hanks, in the living room with a gunshot wound to her chest and concluded the violence occurred inside the residence with no one else involved.

Authorities say evidence and statements led them to believe Evelyn shot Eugene and then shot herself. Evelyn was taken to the University of Mississippi Medical Center for surgery. No arrests were made in connection with Eugene’s death, and no motive was established, though acquaintances noted Eugene had been dealing with health problems.

If anyone knew the Hankses or has information about what happened that morning, please share what you remember with local investigators.
