On June 30, 1994, four people were killed in an armed robbery at the Witchduck Inn in Virginia Beach. Victims included 32-year-old cook Wendel G. Parrish Jr.; the bar’s owner, Lamvan Son; a waitress, Karen Sue Rounds; and a patron, Abdelaziz Gren. A regular patron discovered the scene around midnight after entering through an unlocked back door and found the victims.

Police identified a former employee and her boyfriend as suspects. Investigators arrested 33-year-old Michael David Clagett and 29-year-old Denise Rayne Holsinger within a day; authorities said the motive was revenge after Holsinger had been fired from the Witchduck Inn. During the robbery Clagett shot and killed the four victims, and he later confessed from jail. Both defendants were charged with multiple counts, including four counts of capital murder and robbery.

Denise Holsinger was sentenced to life in prison and Michael Clagett received the death penalty and was executed on July 6, 2000. Does anyone have memories of the Witchduck Inn or the neighborhood around June 1994 that could shed light on those events?
