Case

Details: In July 2000, three fast food workers were found dead at a Smyna, Tennessee Captain D's Seafood Restaurant in an apparent robbery. William Snell was found first, shot through the window of his blue Mazda parked behind the K-mart near the restaurant. Scott Myers and Bryan Speight were found shot and murdered in the restaurant's cooler. It's believed their killer was robbing the place after closing. One clue to solve the crime could be in locating Speight's stolen key chain with a plastic locket on it reading, "All I want is peace and quiet; Give me a piece and I'll be quiet."
Suspects: One witness reported seeing a black male in his twenties lurking behind the restaurant. Another person sighted a black female with a knapsack loitering inside the place. One theory put forward is that the murders could be linked to three cold-blooded Nashville restaurant murder-robberies from 1997 involving the deaths of seven people, two of which at another Captain D's restaurant. Those murders ended with the capture of Paul Reid, a dismissed Shoney's Restaurant cook, who subsequently received seven death sentences, the most ever received in Tennessee.
