On an October day in 2006 in Winchester, Virginia, four members of one extended family were found shot to death across two neighboring homes. Samuel William Orndorff, 60, was discovered dead in his vehicle from a gunshot wound to the head. Inside his home, his 19-year-old daughter Amanda Orndorff and her 23-month-old son Christopher were found shot and killed. In the adjoining residence, Amanda’s 17-year-old nephew Travis Putman was also found dead of gunshot wounds.

Authorities identified 20-year-old Jessi Ashton Jephson, reported to be Amanda’s boyfriend and living in the house where Travis was found, as a suspect. Deputies located Jephson about ten miles from the scene; he was armed when contacted but surrendered without incident. He was arrested and charged with capital murder and first-degree murder in the deaths of Samuel and Amanda, with additional capital and first-degree murder charges later filed for Christopher and Travis, along with grand larceny for the theft of the handgun used and auto theft. Police reports say Jephson confessed to shooting Amanda at the time of his arrest.

Does anyone in Winchester remember the family or have information about that night that could shed more light on what happened?
