Elrey “Bud” Runion placed an ad on Craigslist in search of a 1966 Ford Mustang, hoping to reconnect with a car similar to one he had owned years earlier after returning from the Vietnam War. This decision led him and his wife, June, on a fateful journey to McRae, a town in south Georgia, in January 2015.
Tragically, this trip marked the last time anyone saw the couple alive. Their bodies were later discovered in woods off a rural road in Telfair County, with their SUV found submerged in a nearby lake. The victims, both shot in the head, were allegedly murdered by Ronnie “Jay” Adrian Towns, the individual they had been in contact with regarding the Craigslist ad.
