Mabel Elizabeth Rosie Ellison, a 76-year-old resident of Vernon County, Missouri, was found dead at her rural home near Nevada on October 10, 2014. Her husband, Herman Ellison, was also discovered dead at the scene; authorities quickly determined both deaths were homicides after the couple were shot inside their residence. Relatives described them as pillars of their family.

Detectives focused on the couple’s 19-year-old grandson, Logan Ellison, who had been staying with them. Investigators believed the shooting occurred the previous day. The teen initially said the deaths were accidental but later admitted to shooting his grandparents, telling investigators he disposed of a shell casing, then attended school and a football game afterward. He was arrested and charged; prosecutors linked the motive to a dispute over the grandparents’ vehicle and financial matters.

Logan Ellison later pleaded guilty and received a 22-year prison sentence after convictions on two counts of second-degree murder and one count of first-degree robbery. Did anyone in the Nevada area know the Ellisons or have information about the days before October 10, 2014?
