William Trigg Tignor, 66, was found dead at his home in Lebanon, Virginia, on December 17, 2018. The death was originally reported as a self-inflicted gunshot wound but was later reclassified as a homicide after investigators uncovered evidence pointing to a plot to kill him.

Tignor, known to friends as Trigger, worked for Appalachian Power Company and was survived by his wife and a daughter. Authorities say the investigation implicated his wife, Helen Diane Tignor, and her lover, Donald Ray Clark. Phone calls between the two while Clark was incarcerated reportedly included talk of getting rid of William, and financial motive is described: Helen stood to benefit from her husband’s life insurance.

Arrests were made and criminal charges announced against both Helen Tignor and Donald Ray Clark in connection with William’s death. Does anyone in the Lebanon area remember details about William, his family, or anything suspicious around December 2018 that could shed more light on the case?
