Johnny Raymond Thomas, 52, of Pulaski, was found dead in the New River in the Delton area of Pulaski County on January 14, 2023. The medical examiner determined his death was a homicide caused by gunshot wounds. Thomas and his 25-year-old girlfriend, Jamie Leigh Frazier of Dublin, were last known to have been seen or contacted on December 14, 2022; evidence indicated they were together at that time. Frazier’s body was later recovered from the New River and the medical examiner confirmed she had also been shot to death.

Investigators with the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office identified 52-year-old Mark David Weiss of Draper as the alleged killer and believe both victims’ bodies were disposed of in the river after the shootings. Weiss was arrested and charged with two counts of second-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a violent convicted felon, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, arson, two counts of concealing a dead body, and felony destruction of evidence. Three others from Draper — Ashley Nichole Edwards, Terrence Wade Edwards, and an 18-year-old, Nolan Michael Neil — were charged with various offenses related to allegedly assisting in concealing the crime and destroying evidence.

Did anyone in the area see Johnny or Jamie after December 14, 2022, or have information about movements along the New River in that period?
