Description
On the morning of August 15, 2002, Mike and Mary Short were found murdered in their rural Bassett, Virginia home. Their nine-year-old daughter, Jennifer, was nowhere to be found. It quickly became clear that she’d been abducted by the killer. An extensive search for Jennifer began, but sadly, weeks later, her remains were found approximately 40 miles away from her home. She too had been murdered. It’s been more than 21 years since Mike, Mary, and Jennifer Short were killed and investigators are still searching for the person responsible… Between midnight on August 14, 2002, and 9:00 am on the 15th, Mike and Mary Short were murdered in their home located off U.S. 220 in Basset, Virginia. Their daughter, Jennifer, was abducted and later found murdered around 40 miles away, near Stoneville, North Carolina. All three of them had been shot in the head.  If you have any information about this investigation, you are asked to call the Henry County Sheriff’s Office at (276) 638-8751.
