40: MURDER: Russell and Shirley Dermond
On the morning of May 6, 2014, Russell Dermond, an 88-year-old beloved father and husband, was found dead in the garage of his home on Lake Oconee in Georgia. He had been brutally murdered, and his head was removed. Russell’s wife of 62 years, Shirley, was nowhere to be found. An intense search for her began, and on May 16, she was found in the lake. Shirley had also been murdered, and her body was weighed down with concrete blocks.
Despite a thorough investigation, the police have yet to identify a motive or suspect for this heinous crime. It’s been just over 10 years since Russell and Shirley were killed, and investigators are still searching for the person responsible…
Russell and Shirley Dermond were killed sometime between 4:30 P.M. on May 2, 2014 and 4:00 P.M. on May 3. They were possibly killed at their home on Carolyn Drive in Reynolds Plantation, a gated community located right off Lake Oconee in Georgia.
Russell was discovered in the garage, likely shot in the head and then decapitated. Shirley suffered blows to the head, possibly from a hammer. Her body was then weighed down with two 30-pound red concrete blocks, enclosed in a blue mesh bag, and submerged in the lake.
If you have any information in this case, please call the Putnam County Sheriff's Office at 706-485-8557. There is a $25,000 reward available.
