Two young men were found dead behind an outbuilding on Reed Creek Drive in Draper, Virginia, on December 5, 2017. Raymond Lewis Rodriguez, 24, and 17-year-old Aidan Dawson were discovered after a tip to the Wythe County Sheriff’s Office; deputies had been investigating Dawson’s disappearance a few days earlier. The sheriff believed the motive was drug-related.

Three local teenagers were arrested after the discovery. Dylan McGlothlin, then 18 of Max Meadows, was charged with capital murder. Also taken into custody were 18-year-old Hunter Armbrister of Max Meadows and 19-year-old Jared Stephens of Austinville; Armbrister and Stephens were initially charged as accessories after the fact, and Armbrister faced additional charges related to body disposal. An April 2018 grand jury later indicted Armbrister and Stephens on two counts of murder, two counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony, and one count of distributing drugs.

Does anyone have information about Raymond Rodriguez’s activities in Draper or knew him personally that could shed light on his last days?
