Miranda Beth Trump was 18 when she was found dead in Bent Mountain, Virginia, in June 2018. She was discovered alongside two friends and coworkers, 20-year-old Brandon Dekle and 21-year-old Cole Kennedy, all three having suffered fatal gunshot wounds in what police determined was a triple homicide. Miranda’s father found her car crashed down an embankment after he could not reach her, and that discovery led officers to the nearby Bent Mountain Road residence where the victims were located.

Authorities arrested 18-year-old Trevor E. Charles, a coworker and friend of the victims, and charged him with three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony. During interrogation he admitted to the killings and said voices had driven him to act; investigators also noted he had used heroin before the murders. Charles later pleaded guilty in September 2019 and received three consecutive life terms without parole plus 13 years for the firearm counts.

Did anyone in Bent Mountain know Miranda, Brandon, or Cole well enough to speak to their last days or movements?
