On June 23, 2015, Peggy Faries, 77, and her husband Robert were found murdered in their home on Highway 469 North in Pearl, Mississippi. A family friend who went to check on the couple after they didn’t answer the door looked through a window and saw Peggy’s body on the floor; a family member who then entered the house discovered Robert’s body in a bedroom. The couple had been married 57 years and were known locally as the former owners of Faries Printers of Richland.

Police quickly focused on their grandson, 22-year-old Zachary Alexander Stanford of Ocean Springs. A Magee officer stopped Stanford for careless driving and observed what appeared to be blood on his clothes and inside his vehicle. Rankin County deputies were called, took Stanford into custody, and reported finding bloody clothing, a knife, and a .22 caliber firearm with a homemade suppressor in the vehicle. During questioning he confessed to the killings and was ordered held without bail pending a mental and substance abuse evaluation.

If anyone knew Peggy or Robert, or saw Zachary Stanford in the days before June 23, 2015, please share what you remember.
