On March 27, 2015, Brandon Lee Woodis, 32, and his father Gilbert Anthony Woodis, 57, were found dead in their home in Union, Mississippi. Both deaths were investigated as homicides after a longtime family friend, 31-year-old Billy Jerald McLain of Crystal Springs, was named as the suspect. McLain had been staying with the Woodis family for a couple of weeks and had formerly worked for one of Gilbert’s Wendy’s franchises.

A relative in Oklahoma called the Neshoba County Sheriff’s Department after receiving a call from McLain in which he said he had killed two people. McLain abandoned his vehicle on a dirt road in Simpson County and was arrested later that day by the Jackson Police Department. Investigators say McLain confessed, claiming he became paranoid, flew into a rage, and shot both men with a high-powered rifle; prosecutors charged him with two counts of murder and one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Does anyone have information about McLain’s time with the Woodis family or what led to the killings?
