In the quiet city of Savannah, Georgia, a grim discovery was made on January 9, 2011, marking a tragic end for two men. David H. Weitnauer, a 50-year-old Caucasian male, was found deceased inside a condemned residence on Windsor Road. Alongside him was the body of 33-year-old Shawn Dale Morris. The house, which Weitnauer had previously occupied, became a silent witness to the events that led to their untimely deaths.
Authorities were initially called to the Southside property following
reports of possible squatters. Upon their arrival, they found the front door unlocked and, upon entering, uncovered the two bodies. The Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department quickly determined that both men were victims of homicide and secured the area to launch a thorough investigation. Despite their efforts and the establishment of a crime scene, the specific details regarding the cause of death were not immediately released to the public.
The double homicide case has since grown cold, joining the list of unsolved mysteries for the Savannah Police Department. In the years that have passed, no substantial leads have emerged that could point to a suspect or suspects, and no arrests have been made in connection with the deaths of David H. Weitnauer and Shawn Dale Morris. The case remains open, a somber reminder of a violent act that took two lives and left a community with unanswered questions. The families of the victims continue to await any new information that might bring a sense of closure and see justice served for their loved ones.
