Judy Faye Hall Capps, a 59-year-old woman from Nebo, NC, was found dead on May 17, 2014. She and her husband, Garry Capps, were discovered at their residence with gunshot wounds to the head. The McDowell County Sheriff’s Office indicated that the incident appeared to be a murder-suicide, with Garry Capps likely shooting Judy before turning the gun on himself.
Both Judy and Garry had health issues, which investigators speculated might have contributed to the tragic event.
Judy Capps, who worked at Walmart, was a white woman. Her husband, Garry Capps, was a 62-year-old pastor at Bond Servant Ministries in Marion before his health began to decline. The couple had two adult sons, and their deaths came as a shock to their community and church members. There were no indications of marital problems or ill will between them, and authorities were not seeking any suspects.
The investigation into the deaths of Judy and Garry Capps was ongoing, with authorities awaiting autopsy and lab results to confirm the murder-suicide ruling. The motive behind the incident remained unclear, and investigators acknowledged that they might never fully understand why it occurred. The case did not involve any arrests, suspects, litigations, or further law cases, as it was determined to be a closed matter with no external involvement.
