Clayton Kendall Breeding was 24 when he was found shot in the head in the parking lot of Rippon Middle School in Woodbridge, Virginia, on December 12, 2001. An Army veteran and a 1995 graduate of Potomac High School, he was remembered by family and his community.

The case remained unsolved for years. In 2007 a Prince William County jury acquitted Joshua W. Andrews of first-degree murder in Breeding’s killing, a verdict that deeply distressed Breeding’s mother, Karol Santmyer. Andrews was later convicted in a separate 2002 Dumfries shooting that killed Romanno A. Head and Robert I. Morrison and received a death sentence that was overturned by the Virginia Supreme Court.

In May 2012 Andrews, then 30, entered a plea agreement in which he pleaded guilty to the 2002 murders and also to the 2001 murder of Clayton Breeding. The agreement ensured Andrews would spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole. Did anyone who knew Clayton or saw him around Woodbridge in December 2001 have information that hasn’t been shared?
