Century-old Lawrenceville murder revisited

Gwinnett Daily post reporter Josh Green gleaned information from several newspaper accounts from 1910 to present a clearer picture of the night a respected Lawrenceville resident named J.D. Wallace shot his wife and 3 of their children then turned the gun on himself.

This is a Gwinnett murder that had gone into the shadows of memory, likely due to the shame people of the time connected with suicide.

It's a very interesting article. Josh Green did a great job of it.

Police: Woman's death was no accident

Neighbors are worried about their own safety after a  woman believed to be about 60-years-old was found dead in her home on Garnet Way in Snellville (unincorporated Gwinnett.)

According to reports, the woman's husband was in Canada on business at the time of the woman's murder. He called a friend to check on his wife after he was unable to reach her by phone.

A Gwinnett County Police spokesperson said that the circumstances surrounding the case are very suspicious, but detectives are still at only the beginning stages of the murder investigation. Police say motivation could have been a robbery, but that the victim could have known the killer.

Anyone with any information to share is urged to contact detectives at 770-513-5300 or Crime Stoppers: 404-577-8477. Information regarding the case can be given anonymously. Police said a reward of up to $2,000 is possible for information that leads to arrest.

Man found beaten and burned dies

Very sad situation. The crime has now moved up from assault to murder though, and I hope this one is solved quickly. It's scary that people who would do this to someone else are walking around free with the rest of us right now.

Murder for hire

Murder for hire an act of desperation
Gainesville Times
"Three months after the Snellville woman placed a hysterical call to 911 from a North Hall park reporting her husband had been shot and was not breathing, she was arrested on suspicion of paying as much as $10,000 to have a hit man kill 46-year-old Richard Schoeck.

Stacey Schoeck, who authorities believe went through with a premeditated plan in order to collect $500,000 in life insurance, could face life in prison or the death penalty.

Committing murder for the purpose of receiving money and directing another to commit murder are both aggravating circumstances that can qualify a case for the death penalty."
