Russell and Shirley Dermond

By 2014, Russell and Shirley Dermond had been married for over 60 years. They had children and grandchildren and were enjoying their retirement years after owning and operating fast food restaurants. In 1994 the couple purchased their dream home on Lake Oconee in Georgia. But their dream home would become the scene of a nightmare. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the murders of Russell and Shirley Dermond. A couple who was friends with the Dermonds went to their house to check on them when they hadn't heard from them in awhile. Russell and Shirley had missed a Kentucky Derby party and weren't picking up or returning phone calls. The couple discovered Russell dead in the garage and he had been decapitated. Shirley was nowhere to be found. What happened to the Dermonds? You can help support the show at patreon.com/criminology An Emash Digital production
