On the evening of November 20, 2020, Benzie County deputies responded to a 911 call from a Grand Street residence in Elberta, Michigan, where they found a violent scene and multiple victims. Twenty-seven-year-old Robert James Freebold was found dead on the kitchen floor from gunshot wounds. Marilyn Schultz Freebold, 63, was found dead in the living room from fatal gunshot wounds. A third victim, 20-year-old Malachi Andrew Maloney, was found alive but later died after being transported to Munson Medical Center.

Sixty-year-old Robert Michael Freebold, husband of Marilyn and father to Robert James, was the lone survivor at the home; he was found injured at the entrance and taken to the hospital. Investigators described a bloody, chaotic scene with overturned furniture and signs of a violent struggle, and a firearm was located near Robert James Freebold’s body. Robert Michael Freebold was arrested and charged with three counts of open murder; prosecutors alleged the victims had been shot with a .22 caliber pistol owned by him, while the defense raised questions about the crime scene’s integrity.
