On the morning of August 15, 2002, the bodies of Michael and Mary Short were found in their Oak Level, Virginia home, both having sustained single gunshot wounds to the head. Their phone lines were cut, indicating premeditation. Missing was their nine-year-old daughter, Jennifer, who was later found dead six weeks later in a creek 35 miles away, also shot in the head. The investigation revealed no signs of robbery but found a mysterious message, "I'm glad to see," on a garage window. Suspicion initially fell on Garrison Bowman, a carpenter who harbored a grudge against Michael and had fled to Canada after the murders, but he was later cleared. The case remains unsolved, though it was reopened in 2021, with renewed efforts and advanced DNA testing aiming to finally resolve this tragic mystery.
