ELKVIEW, W.Va. — Those close to a family of four murdered in Kanawha County are hoping people will pitch in to help in a time of great need.
Daniel Dale Long, 37, Risa Mae Saunders, 39, Gage Ripley, 12, and Jameson Long, 3 — all of Elkview — were found dead of gunshot wounds in their home Sunday by a family member who became concerned having not heard from them for an extended period of time. Two teenagers have now been charged with their murders.
Friends of the family have established a Go Fund Me page to help the family deal with some anticipated steep funeral expenses for the four victims. A cousin of one of the deceased organized the fundraising page and writes,
“None had insurance and we are honestly not sure what to do! Please share if you can’t donate! Please pray for us as a family!”
The goal is $30,000 and as of this writing just over $7,000 had been contributed.
