Thomas Hall Gaines, 77, was found alive in his Lilburn, Georgia, home on September 14, 2017, with a gunshot wound to his mouth and was pronounced dead after transport to Eastside Medical Center. Gaines was a U.S. Navy veteran and retired welder.

His stepdaughter, 54-year-old Sandra Christine Olver, who lived with him, initially told police he had shot himself, but officers noted inconsistencies between her account and the physical evidence at the scene. She was interviewed and released because investigators said there was not enough evidence to arrest her that day.

The case changed the next day when Olver’s daughter called police to report that her mother was threatening suicide. Officers say Olver then confessed to shooting her stepfather; she was taken into custody and charged with murder and aggravated assault, booked into the Gwinnett County Detention Center without bond.

Does anyone have information about Gaines, his household, or the events around September 14–15, 2017?
