Georgia elderly man decapitated, wife missing; police seek clues
CNN ^ | 5/8/2014 | CNN

The Georgia couple is described as "sweet as can be," and authorities are scrambling to unravel the mystery of how Russell Dermond, 88, was killed and then reportedly decapitated, and his 87-year-old wife disappeared.

The Putnam County Sheriff's Office is treating Shirley Dermond's disappearance from the Eatonton home -- where her husband was found dead Tuesday -- as an abduction, Sheriff Howard Sills said in a statement.

Police suspect that Russell Dermond was killed between Friday and Sunday.

The Dermonds' friends hadn't heard from them in days and went to their home in the upscale, gated, lakeside Great Waters community, where they found in the garage "what we are virtually certain is the body of 88-year-old Russell Dermond," Sills said.

As one ages it’s a good idea to keep one or more big dogs and one or more big, loaded guns around the house.

Even a small yappy dog can warn you of an unknown stranger in your house or yard. Dogs are our friends.

Possibly not. They lived in an expensive, gated community where Amish might stand out too much. I also live in a community where they might stand out too much and had a near brush with four probably illegal aliens who came to my door one late evening, knocked aggressively, and ran like Hell when they saw me approaching the door. I’ve never come so close with the Amish.

I practice what I preach. My two DBDs are an 85 lb. Pitador and a 110 lb. Great Dane. And, before the Terrible Boating Accident . . .

We used to suspect Muslims, and I think in decapitation cases, we still do.

I agree. Doesn’t sound like a typical Amish-type crime to me, what with the beheading. But it’s right up the alley for an MS-13, or one of their wannabes.

I heard it was on a lake and police are investigating whether killer/killers came in by boat. FBI has been asked to help.

The head is still missing.

Some kind of ritual or satanic killing?

Very bizarre and unsettling.
