Sheriff Jeff Crisco said at the time, investigators at the time worked every lead until they ran out. He recently assigned new detectives to the case to see if new technology could enhance evidence. “Even from five years ago, technology has completely changed, so we are hoping these labs can help us in various ways,” Crisco said. Crisco is hoping almost a decade later someone will be compelled to come forward.

Reward offered after man found bound, dead inside Stanly Co. home

A reward is being offered for new information after deputies say a man's body was found bound to a chair inside a Stanly County home earlier this week.

"I think the one done it probably wanted something from him, and I think they should catch him and shoot him, I don't think they should put him in jail, just shoot him."

Late Tuesday afternoon WBTV watched as investigators expanded the crime scene near the house on Groves Road. Crime scene tape was placed around a 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora that was parked across the street from the house, and an SBI agent was seen looking in the car.

A man who claimed to know Burleson said he was familiar with the car and that he had seen it at the house many times before, but the also said that the car did not belong to Burleson.''

From a 2013 news report

Jeremy Shaver, 17, and Tracey Henderson, 19, said they went to Burleson's house Sunday night because they hadn't heard from him in a couple days and he didn't return any phone calls. Henderson drove the two to Burleson's house. She said it is her car investigators went through, but that she was just the driver and friend who did the welfare check.
It was ransacked. Everything was pulled out -- the closets, couch, cushions flipped up -- obvious someone had been in there looking for something, Shaver said about what she saw upon entering the house.

Shaver said it's strange that another one of Burleson's acquaintances -- Tony Cunningham -- was run over, robbed and killed the same weekend in the Albemarle area. Shaver thinks the two crimes are somehow connected, but police have not confirmed that. Just a gut feeling, he said.

Reward offered for murder victim found duct-taped in basement

The man who said he found 27-year-old Jason Burleson murdered, tied up and duct-taped in a Stanly County home claimed Burleson's house was ransacked and that it appeared Burleson suffocated from his restraints.

Stanly Sheriff’s Office renews appeal to public for answers in 2013 murder case

ALBEMARLE — Nearly nine years after a local resident was found dead in his home, the Stanly County Sheriff's Office is still seeking the public’s assistance in untangling the truth behind the unsolved murder. On May 12, 2013, just outside Albemarle’s city limits, 27-year-old Jason Burleson was d

''On May 12, 2013, just outside Albemarle’s city limits, 27-year-old Jason Burleson was discovered deceased in the basement of his home, shot and tied to a chair, with his mouth and nose duct-taped. His house had been ransacked and plundered, but there was no trace of who the culprit or culprits might be — nor any indication on why the tragic murder occurred. ''

''Over 40 people were interviewed by authorities involved in this case; repeated interviews multiple years later with the same people did not generate any new leads or new accounts pertaining to the tragic event, only a common narrative surrounding Burleson’s positive reputation among his friends and family.''

“Sometimes people think, ‘Well, I know stuff, but it might not matter.’ But a lot of times, it’s that information that does matter. The things that people think are insignificant, to us having seen the file but haven’t looked at everything, they’re the critical pieces. So we are asking anyone to come forward,” Huneycutt continued.

Stanly County Crime Stoppers is still offering a $15,000 reward in exchange for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for Burleson’s death. Anyone with any information at all pertaining to the murder case is advised to contact Stanly County Crime Stoppers at 704-982-0711, Lt. Joseph Lawing at 704-986-3738, or Huneycutt at 704-986-3690. ''
