On May 16, 2017, Jerry Wayne Hargrove, 50, and his wife Debora Kay Hargrove were found dead in their home in Chilhowie, Virginia, each suffering fatal gunshot wounds to the upper torso. Jerry Hargrove worked as a laborer at a utility trailer company in Glade Spring and was remembered locally as a good person with a heart of gold.

Investigators identified Debora’s brother, John Anthony Able, 48, who had been living with the couple, as the primary person of interest. Able was charged by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of using a firearm during the commission of a felony, and two counts of robbery.

Before the case moved to trial, Able was found dead in Tennessee, ending the immediate manhunt and the pending prosecution. Does anyone in the Chilhowie or Glade Spring area have information about the Hargroves, their last days, or Able’s residence with them?
