Three Dead After Custody Dispute


"PAGE, VA — Three people are dead in what Buchanan County Sheriff Ray Foster called a double-murder and suicide.

"It happened around 11 a.m. Saturday, at the home of Alvin Sheppard, 1038 Pond View Drive (in the Page area of Buchanan County).

"Dispatch received a call from Sheppard at 11:02 a.m.

"He told deputies he had shot John Mays, 29, and Sandra Keene, 53, to death, Foster said.

"`He wanted us to come and get the bodies,` Foster said.

"Investigators found Mays and Keene in the driveway, and found eight casings from a 9-millimeter handgun around their car.

"`One of them was shot multiple times,` Foster said. He declined to detail their injuries.

"Foster said investigators found Sheppard in the yard outside his home, dead from a single gunshot wound to the head.

"`He took his own life,` Foster said.

"Investigators said the shooting followed a custody dispute."

  1. Although misspelling "Pondview Drive" didn't help, this address is completely unknown to Google Maps. However, the StreetView in the link above provides a good view of the home where the deaths occurred.
