On November 28, 1993, 35-year-old Rebecca Rosenbluth and her husband Richard were found murdered in their Chesterfield County, Virginia home; their bodies were discovered two days later. Both had suffered multiple gunshot wounds — Rebecca reportedly shot four times in the head and neck, and Richard shot twice in the head. Investigators tied the killings to a drug-related dispute, noting a transactional relationship between the Rosenbluths and a known cocaine dealer, Mark Arlo Sheppard.

Authorities arrested Sheppard, then 22, after he was caught attempting to set fire to Richard Rosenbluth’s vehicle on December 3, 1993. Sheppard’s fingerprints were reportedly found at the scene and he was alleged to possess the murder weapon. He and Andre Graham were charged with capital murder, robbery, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. At trial Sheppard was convicted on all counts and sentenced to death; Graham received life. Sheppard maintained he did not pull the trigger and blamed Graham and another alleged accomplice, Benji Vaughan.

Does anyone have additional information about the Rosenbluths’ lives or the people involved that could shed light on motives or contacts leading up to November 28, 1993?
