Summary

On May 6, 2014 in Eatonton, Georgia, 88-year-old Russell Dermond was found dead and decapitated in his own garage. 87-year-old Shirley Dermond was later found six miles from her home in Lake Oconee with concrete blocks tied to her legs. So who wanted this elderly couple dead? Listen as Savannah breaks down this mysterious case that has haunted Sheriff Howard Sills every day for the past five years. Very little evidence has been recovered from the crime scene and there have been no substantial leads. Will we ever find out who killed the Dermonds? If you have any theories on this case or any other case, or just want to get in touch with Savannah about potential future cases, email her at [email protected].
