On September 30, 1971, Bobby Ray Jones went to work as a bartender at the Lone Branch in Darlington, Florida, located near the Alabama border in the northernmost part of Walton County.
The bar closed early that night, but Bobby Ray answered a knock at the door and let someone in. Minutes later, that person would shoot and kill Bobby Ray, and over 50 years later, his family, friends and local law enforcement are still looking for answers.
This case, like their other cold cases, still has the full attention of Walton County Sheriff Mike Adkinson and his team. They are hoping you just may know something to help solve this case and bring closure to the Jones family.
