Russell and Shirley Dermond: The Lake Oconee Murders (part one)

Russell and Shirley Dermond had been married for over 60 years. Retired, well-liked, and settled into a quiet gated community on Lake Oconee, Georgia, they were the kind of couple who never missed a neighborhood gathering — until the weekend of the 2014 Kentucky Derby, when they simply didn't show up.

Days later, concerned friends walk into their unlocked home and find a horrifying scene.

No forced entry. Nothing stolen. No known enemies.

In this episode, we walk through the disappearance, the discovery, and the earliest theories in a case that would go on to baffle investigators, the community, and their loved ones.

This case is still open. If you have any information about the murders of Russell and Shirley Dermond, contact the Putnam County Sheriff's Office at 706-485-8557 or the FBI at 404-679-9000. A reward is still active.
