John Magee, 69, and his wife, Geraldine Magee, 67, were found shot to death in their home in Andover, Massachusetts, on the morning of Dec. 14, 2011.
The couple's daughter found the bodies when she arrived to their home at 7 Orchard Crossing that morning with her young children, according to the Essex County District Attorney's Office. The night before, the couple's Black Lexus SUV was found torched on Prince Street in the North End by Boston police.
A decade has passed, but few details have been released by law enforcement. The case still remains open and unsolved.
"I can remember reading about it and actually seeing, you know, on the news," said Paul D'Agostino, co-owner of D'Agostinos of Andover, "And then all of a sudden, it seemed like the whole story just disappeared."
