On the morning of November 18, 2022, a 911 call from a home on Laurel Oak Road in Chester, Virginia, captured dispatchers’ attention when the caller, 39-year-old JoAnna Cottle, reported a possible intruder and gunshots were heard before the line went silent. Officers who entered the residence found JoAnna and her three children — 13-year-old Kaelyn Parson and 4-year-old twins Kinsey and Jayson Cottle — dead of gunshot wounds. Kinsey Cottle was a 4-year-old female.

Investigators focused on Jonah L. Adams, 35, a Navy veteran from Waldorf, Maryland, who had been JoAnna Cottle’s ex-boyfriend and was the twins’ father. Authorities placed his vehicle near the Cottle home in the hours before the killings and arrested him the same day in Maryland. Chesterfield County detectives charged him with four counts of first-degree murder; prosecutors introduced the 911 call, scene testimony, and ballistics tying cartridge cases to a rifle linked to Adams.

Does anyone have information about the family or the neighborhood that could add context to what happened that morning?
