Detective Perspective Derrick Levasseur

In June 2009, Robert “Bob” Harrod, an 81-year-old beloved father, married Fontelle, a woman he reconnected with after 59 years apart. Fontelle was set to move from Missouri into Bob’s Placentia, California home on July 29, but two days before that could happen, Bob went missing. After a thorough investigation, the police theorized that Bob had met with foul play, possibly because of his multi-million dollar estate. Despite this, his body has never been located. It’s been almost 15 years since Bob went missing, and investigators are still searching for him…

Robert “Bob” Harrod was last seen alive at around 2:30 pm on July 27, 2009 at his house in the 500 block of Carnation Drive in Placentia, California. 

Bob is 5’11”, 140 pounds, with blue/gray eyes. He kept his head shaven, but when he went missing, he did have a little bit of gray hair coming in. He was last seen wearing white shorts, white knee socks, a white belt, a white hat, and white Reebok tennis shoes. The color of his shirt is unknown. 

If you have any information in this case, please call Orange County Crime Stoppers at 855-847-6227.

Her mother, Diana Cojocari, initially told the police that she last saw her daughter on the night of November 23rd.

On November 8, 1988, Brandy Hutchins, a 14-year-old beloved daughter, told her friends and family that she was pregnant with her boyfriend’s child. Tragically, just four days later, she was discovered murdered in the root cellar of an abandoned house in Coal Hill, Arkansas.

During the police investigation at the house, they found a piece of paper with a positive pregnancy test result next to Brandy's body. However, when Brandy's autopsy results came back, they revealed she was not pregnant and had never been.

It turned out that Brandy had not been honest about her pregnancy. After learning this, the police suspected that the fake positive pregnancy test might have played a role in her death. They focused their attention on two suspects, including Brandy's boyfriend, but unfortunately, they never found enough evidence to make an arrest.

It's been more than 35 years since Brandy was killed, and investigators are still searching for answers…

On November 10, 1988, 14-year-old Brandy Hutchins was dropped off at the “Old John Emery” house on Whippoorwill Road in Coal Hill, Arkansas. Two days later, she was found dead in the root cellar. She’d been shot with a .22 caliber.  

Anyone with information is asked to call the Johnson County Sheriff’s Crime Tips hotline at 479-705-8477. 

A childhood friend of Brandy's is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Brandy's murderer.

On the morning of May 6, 2014, Russell Dermond, an 88-year-old beloved father and husband, was found dead in the garage of his home on Lake Oconee in Georgia. He had been brutally murdered, and his head was removed. Russell’s wife of 62 years, Shirley, was nowhere to be found. An intense search for her began, and on May 16, she was found in the lake. Shirley had also been murdered, and her body was weighed down with concrete blocks.

Despite a thorough investigation, the police have yet to identify a motive or suspect for this heinous crime. It’s been just over 10 years since Russell and Shirley were killed, and investigators are still searching for the person responsible…

Russell and Shirley Dermond were killed sometime between 4:30 P.M. on May 2, 2014 and 4:00 P.M. on May 3. They were possibly killed at their home on Carolyn Drive in Reynolds Plantation, a gated community located right off Lake Oconee in Georgia. 

Russell was discovered in the garage, likely shot in the head and then decapitated. Shirley suffered blows to the head, possibly from a hammer. Her body was then weighed down with two 30-pound red concrete blocks, enclosed in a blue mesh bag, and submerged in the lake.

If you have any information in this case, please call the Putnam County Sheriff's Office at 706-485-8557. There is a $25,000 reward available.
