Derrick Yancey Shot Stranger Who Shot His Wife
DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - Here is a story out of Georgia that I am really interested in. Police received a 911 emergency call at 1:10 p.m. that there were two victims at 5515 Mountain View Pass. Derrick Yancey, a DeKalb County sheriff’s deputy states that he was at his home when an unknown male intruder came into the house and shot his wife Linda Yancey, 44, to death. Derrick Yancey told investigators he then shot the stranger to death.
“Once our officers arrived, they did find two people deceased inside, a male and a female,” said DeKalb County police spokesperson Mekka Parrish. “According to the homeowner, an unknown man shot and killed his wife and he was then forced to shoot that unknown man inside his home.”
Anyone have flags going off with even that little bit if information? I dunno why I jumped right to a scenario in which the deputy walked in on his wife and this stranger…but the stranger was not shooting his wife. Pure speculation of course, but it was just the first thing that popped into my head. I’m a cynical optimist. I’ll update the story as more information is revealed
I thought the exact thing as I was reading this. Sheriff walked in on his wife doing another man and got mas and show them both. That is what I think.
Lol, sounds like a Law and Order episode.
There was a case some time ago where a man set up a guy in order to kill his wife.
Wife had gotten weirded out by a taxi driver. Husband called taxi company and complained. He then called the driver and asked him to come over to discuss the situation.
When the driver got there, hubby had beaten his wife to death, then shot the driver. He planted the gun on the dead driver.

Wonder if this is going to be a similar story.
I think people are pretty fucking stupid sometimes. If my husband was a peace officer and I knew carried a gun most of the time I sure wouldn’t be bringing my side “piece o meat” around to the house.
Was everyone fully clothed? Did she have the other guys DNA evidence in her? All questions I will patiently wait for answers on….
OOPS - He didn’t plant the GUN, I think it was a HAMMER near the wife’s body.
Count me in. The whole time I was reading a little voice in my head was saying “yeah right”. As the wife of a cop I am going to go with hubby came home unexpectedly (or had suspicions and came home on purpose with an extra gun.) and badda bing badda boom that’s all she wrote.
So she was banging this guy and hubby caught them, should have got a hotel.
My hubby told me a story about a guy who lived in a trailer park in Southern Illinois. He came home to a rocking trailer and found his wife banging some dude. It was around Thanksgiving and they had a frozen turkey, he killed them both with it. He then cooked it and called the cops while he was eating it. He supposingly got off on temporary insanity. So moral of the story use frozen turkey bludgeon your victim bast and eat before calling cops
Well, the bullets should have come from two different guns then, right?
Guess we’ll have to wait and see. Not to say the husband didn’t have two guns, but I jumped to the same conclusion you did.
Maybe he hit the hit man. Something is not right here.
“Neighbors said the intruder was a day laborer. They said the deputy hired him to do some landscaping.”
Am I the only one that just keeps reading these types of statements wrong? As in “mind in the gutter” wrong?
No,

THAT’S exactly what I was thinking. Although, you would have to be a pretty stupid hitman to work for a cop. Of course, we do have the show ‘America’s Dumbest Criminals’.
Hey, my mind is there with yours
“Landscaping”. Is that what they are calling it now?
That yard already looks landscaped. Photos of the Yanceys at: http://www.ajc.com/holidayguide/content/metro/dekalb/stories/2008/06/09/dekalb_deputy.html
Heeheee very intriguing story….I would definitely like to know more, much more.

Here’s the link from Fox5 Atlanta. They have been following the story since it broke.
Even though they used day laborers often for landscaping, a lot of folks around here seem to go with the opinion that:
He may have brought this guy home to use as a “pawn” in his game of lets get rid of the wife without them pinning it on me…
And he could of course shoot the laborer in “self-Defense” of the guy having a gun and “robbing” them.
Dead dudes don’t talk. They are reporting that they don’t yet have an identity for the laborer. He may well be an undocumented illegal. They often don’t carry ID because if you can’t prove that they aren’t illegal, then they can “be here” legally. That’s the reason for all the day laborer sites around Atlanta metro area. No documentation, under the table work.
So far it is sounding exactly like the scenario that played out in my head when the story broke.
Yep. Of COURSE, the reporters would never insinuate THAT possibility…
Mr and Mrs were both police officers and I am sure he has pondered and pre-meditated how he could do this and get away with it.
I wonder if they will find any powder residue or blood splatter on the laborer- Since he was supposedly the one who shot the Mrs…!
THAT may turn the story in the right direction.
Unless he paid the guy to shoot her……Of course he didn’t mention the bonus was a bullet to the head when the job was done.
Very interesting.
NEWSFLASH? Didn’t think the link to the scanned copy would work…:(
Suprise (NOT) they are looking at the hubby.

This cop killed his wife and thinks that he is going to get away with it! “WRONG”…….it is just a matter of time, before his as goes to prison for killin his wife. Ain’t no such thing as an intruder coming into a cop’s house. Let’s not forget…the wife was a detention officer people. She was trained to use a gun too. This dumb as shot her in the heart..now that sounds like a cop killer to me…..
