I'm not sure why it's such a cold case.
Mark Winne of WSB/Channel 2 does a piece on the anniversary of the crime.
4+ years.

And now 2 BIZARRE murders across the lake from each other.

No one saw anything.
No one had security footage in that very gated community with guard shacks, cameras - which weren't working says LE- and patrols?

Where is Dateline?
And People Magazine on ID?
Heck, there are 5+ shows on ID the Dermond Murders would fit...

It is just so odd...

Yes, OTP, it seems as if no one really cares. I’m sure LE wants to solve the case, understandable, since it is their job. But the remaining family, and their seeming indifference is hard to fathom.

IMHO

I agree. 'Tis the season where some folks drink too much...and say too much.
Hoping that happens. But as my husband says, "Hope is not a strategy."

Still wondering if the CH/MD case is connected.

JMO

Felt like there was indeed some drunken chatting going on for someone to get bludgeoned and then shot in the face, on the lake across from the D's lake place and even closer to where SD body was found........huh?!

However, the Greene County PD told me it assuredly is not connected..........but I'll believe that when it's solved LOL

When the weather warms up I’m going to go back to the lake and reach out to SS about doing an actual 10 part podcast.

It’s not really up Payne Lindsey’s alley but I’m going to ask him to help. See what happens.

People that live on the lake think it was organized crime related but I don’t believe that.

I thought all the old guys in the Dixie Mafia were dead...
Are the lake residents thinking Russian mob or Cosa Nostra?

I wouldn't rule out organized crime but I think it's highly unlikely. the only thing I would rule out is that this wasn't a robbery/extortion gone bad. They were very prepared, they knew the area and this wasn't their 1st rodeo. The feds arriving on scene so quickly is 1 reason I wouldn't rule out organized crime, the other reason is the lack of information given and the silence of the family. The feds don't get involved right away except when it has to do with someone they are either protecting or investigating

I listen to Trish's and your podcast through Google podcast. They both can be found there.

I searched for this new one and cannot find it on Googlepodcast. Is it searchable yet there? Will it be found there after you are up and running?

A great first one to cover. Foxfire, RIP, would be so pleased. I hope you get an interview with sheriff Sills.

For some reason I am having trouble getting it on Google Podcasts. But it's on Stitcher. Into the Case When I get it up on Google Podcasts, I'll be sure to let you know.

I wonder if they are scared? Thinking they could be targeted as well? There has to be a reason why they are silent. I'm sure this has rattled them to the core.

 

[OTPTarheel2018]

Reading on a Reddit thread the other day...it mentioned there was a dam of towels around RD body in the garage, to keep the blood from flowing out of the garage. I don’t remember reading this before...
Anybody?

Also does anyone have the name of the D restaurant Corp.?
I think it had the name star in it and there were variations on that theme.

Thanks.

OTP,


I haven't followed this case in a long time, but if my memory serves me correctly, yes there were towels to keep the blood from going outside.

ETA
I did a search on the threads, and it appears this information came from the two-part 6-14-17 podcast from Sworn podcast. I'm not sure if terms of service allows me to link it. I used to search word of towels to find that information.

@dancinunderthemoon and @fred&edna maybe better to answer as they commented a bit on that podcast. I don't think it was mentioned before that.

"THe right foot of Mr D was dragged through a pool of blood about a foot or foot and a half, his left arm had towels beside it apparently to keep the blood from running out the garage door"

They planned to open 3 restaurants in FL. A franchise agreement with the Dermond's company, Sunrise Foods LLC, per this report dated 2011.

And, the Panama City location opened in 2012

Find out about the man on the lawn. SS interviewed him and says he's not a suspect but he was there Saturday which is the day SS thinks the murder happened. I'd like to know why he was on the lawn, did he see anything or hear anything? Why did the son who says he talked to his father every night not call the PD for a wellness check since it was at least 4 days since he last talked to him? I would also like to know if SS has any evidence at first he said he has all forms of evidence and last year he started saying he has no evidence. I know he can't say what evidence he has for obvious reasons but just let us know if there is any evidence

Levi, it is hard to comprehend. Why would organized crime plan a hit on an elderly couple? I always go with those who stand to benefit from a victim’s demise.

Merry Christmas, everyone. May we have some answers to this case in the new year.

Seems this family has a lot of restaurants . i'd like to know if they still own the company sunrise foods llc, I see it might have been sold in 2012

I keep going back to the "hit" theory.

Whoever "ordered it" did so as a warning to others. The elderly Dermonds were expendable. (I'm thinking as a perp). Imo the "message" sent from their brutal murders gained
something from someone close to the Dermonds whether it be cooperation or payment of some kind.

 

[Deleted member 162919]

All I know for sure is that this was a professional who did this. Someone who knew the Dermonds well, someone who knew the area, and someone who has done this before.

Do you think it was someone who knew the Dermond's that HIRED a professional hitman 0r hitmen?
