I ran across these 3 missing males who the police think the cases are related. Tommy is Lynn's nephew, and Dennis and Lynn are friends. All three of them lived at the same residence. I didn't know if I should list them individually or together, so hopefully I did this right.

This is a crazy weird situation. I found some articles which state Lynn caused an accident that killed four. I'm surprised no one has done a podcast on this that I can find.

Ok, this is interesting regarding Lynn DeBerry

There are also some Reddit threads of interest about these men. I don't think I am allowed to link them here. Also, there is mention of a brother and woman who were shot and survived

There are a couple of Reddit threads about these men, but I don't think I can link them here. There is mention about one of the missing men's brother and brother's girlfriend also being shot, but they survived. This is so strange!
