When Russell and Shirley Dermond failed to show up to a neighborhood Kentucky Derby party their neighbors were beginning to grow concerned. It wasn't like Russell and Shirley, who were very active in their upscale gated community to not only not show up, but to also not call or give an explanation as to why they weren't going to appear.

Neighbors were still concerned days later after several attempts to reach the Dermonds' went unanswered. Taking it upon themselves to conduct a welfare check, neighbors of the Dermonds' would discover a terribly gruesome sight.

In the Dermonds' garage, laying in a dried pool of blood was the decapitated body of 88-year-old Russell.

And things would only get worse when investigators realized that not only had Russell been murdered, but his 87-year-old wife Shirley was missing.

Who could have possibly wanted to harm Russell and Shirley?

In today's case we talk about the murders of Russell and Shirley Dermond.
