Jolene Lavonia Price, 51, was found dead in her Crestview, Florida home on November 13, 2019. She and her husband, Robert Warren Price, were discovered shot while they slept; both deaths were ruled homicides. The couple were Georgia natives who lived in Crestview, were married, and had four children and two grandchildren. They were known locally for gardening, hospitality, and their affection for their pets, including two chihuahuas, Cooper and Nala, who were also killed that day.

Authorities say their 30-year-old son, Jacob Daniel Price, a former Marine, turned himself in to the Crestview Police Department shortly after the killings and confessed to shooting his parents and the dogs in the early morning hours. He was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree premeditated murder and two counts of animal cruelty; the State Attorney’s Office indicated the death penalty was being considered. The motive remains unclear.

Does anyone have information about Jolene’s life in Crestview or the family that could help illuminate what led up to this tragedy?
