On October 5, 2006, four members of the Orndorff family were murdered in Winchester, Virginia. Amanda Dawn Orndorff, 19, was found in a bedroom with multiple gunshot wounds. Her 23-month-old son Christopher was found dead in the living room from gunshot wounds. Amanda’s 60-year-old father, Samuel William Orndorff, was found shot to death in a vehicle in the driveway. A 17-year-old nephew, Travis Putman, was found in the adjacent cottage with fatal gunshot wounds to the chest and head.

The investigation focused on Jessi Ashton Jephson, a 20-year-old who lived next door and had recently ended a relationship with Amanda, according to relatives and neighbors. Authorities found Jephson about ten miles from the scene in the early morning and recovered a handgun believed to be the murder weapon; he was taken into custody and admitted to shooting Amanda. Jephson was charged with multiple counts, later pleading guilty and receiving consecutive life terms plus additional years.

Did anyone in the area know Amanda, Christopher, Samuel, or Travis and have information about tensions or events leading up to October 5, 2006?
