True crime

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.

39: MURDER: Charlotte Fimiano

On December 20, 2022, Kadin Black, a beloved 19-year-old son and brother, was reported missing in Wrightsville, Pennsylvania. His family hadn’t heard from him for three days, and he had failed to show up at his dad’s house for a pre-planned get-together, which was out of character. The police immediately launched an investigation into Kadin’s disappearance, but there was no sign of him anywhere. It’s been just over 16 months since Kadin went missing, and investigators are still searching for him…



19-year-old Kadin Black last contacted his family on December 17, 2022. His phone connected to the WiFi at the Foust home on Vickilee Drive in Wrightsville, Pennsylvania, at around 9:30 am on the 18th. At that time, his phone also pinged in the same vicinity. After 9:30, his phone was either turned off or died. No sign of Kadin has been found since then.



Kadin is a light skinned Black male with dark brown hair and brown eyes. He is 5’10”, 160 pounds, and has an athletic build. It’s unclear what he was last wearing.



A Facebook page named "Find Kadin Black" has been created for people to learn additional information and keep Kadin’s name circulating.



Anyone with information should contact the Lower Windsor Township Police Department at 1-717-244-8055.

In the early morning hours of April 18, 2016, Missy Bevers, a 45-year-old beloved mom, wife, fitness instructor, and so much more, was murdered inside Creekside Church of Christ in Midlothian, Texas. When police checked the surveillance footage, they learned that Missy had been viciously attacked by someone wearing tactical gear, and carrying a hammer. Despite the killer being captured on camera, no suspects have ever been identified. It’s been just over eight years since Missy was killed, and investigators are still searching for the person responsible… 



Missy Bevers was murdered at some point between 4:20 and 5:00 am on April 18, 2016 while she was inside the Creekside Church of Christ in Midlothian, Texas. 



The police believe the suspect is 5’8” with a helmet on. They do not know the gender or race of the suspect, however they believe the suspect is light-skinned. They ask that everyone watch the video footage to see if you recognize the suspect. 



Investigators are also looking for the driver of a Silver Nissan Altima, who was seen in the parking lot of SWFA Outdoors just a few hours before Missy was murdered. The driver is not a suspect, but police would like to speak to them. 



If you have any information in this case, you can call Crime Stoppers of Ellis County at 972-937-7297, or call the Midlothian Police Department Criminal Investigation Division at 972-775-7634. There is a $150,000 reward.
