  • Summary

  • On the night of Saturday, October 15th, 2011, 17-year-old Blake Chappell attended the homecoming dance at East Coweta High School in Georgia with his girlfriend. After the dance, Blake planned to spend the night with a close friend, however, after a few hours he decided to see his girlfriend instead.

    Blake went to his girlfriend’s house and they spent about 30 minutes together before a family member discovered Blake. He left at around 5 AM and began walking back to his friend's house, but tragically, he never made it.

    Family, friends, and police searched tirelessly for over two months before Blake’s body was discovered on December 19th. He was found face down in a creek, wearing little clothing, with a gunshot wound to his head.

    It’s been over thirteen years since Blake was killed and the questions remain: who killed Blake Chappell, and why?

    17-year-old Blake Chappell disappeared after visiting his girlfriend early in the morning on October 16th, 2011, in Newnan, Georgia. The two had attended the East Coweta High School homecoming dance the evening before. His last communication was from his text-only phone just after 5:30 AM.

    Law enforcement, family and friends searched for Blake for just over two months. His body was discovered face down in a creek near the SummerGrove Golf and Tennis Club. Blake was only wearing an undershirt and his underwear, according to reports he had been shot in the head from a .22 to .45 caliber gun at close range.

    Anyone with information is asked to contact CrimeStoppers of Greater Atlanta at 404-577-TIPS (404-577-8477) or the Newnan PD Tip Line at 770-254-2350. There is a $20,000 reward in the case.
