Summary

On May 6th, 2014 in Eatonton, Georgia, 88-year-old Russell Dermond was found dead and decapitated in his own garage. Ten days later, 87-year-old Shirley Dermond was found at the bottom of Lake Oconee with concrete blocks tied to her legs. Savannah revisits this mysterious case that has haunted Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills every day for the past decade. Who wanted this elderly couple dead, how much has the case evolved since Savannah last covered the case, and will we ever find out who killed the Dermonds? -Shop Everyday Cotton, and all of my favorite bras and underwear at http://www.skims.com/killer #skimspartner Get exclusive Killer Instinct content on my patreon : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/killerinstinct⁠ If you like the show, telling a friend about it would be helpful!
