Couple unfriends woman on Facebook, father murders them. 36-year-old Billy Payne Jr. and his girlfriend, 23-year-old Billie Jean Hayworth, recently unfriended 30-year-old Jenelle Potter on Facebook.
Jenelle was upset, but not as much as her 60-year-old father, Marvin "Buddy" Potter (pictured right). He was so angry when he learned about the unfriending that he and 38-year-old Jamie Lynn Curd (pictured left), who reportedly had romantic feelings for Jenelle, went out and murdered Payne and Hayworth last week. The couple is survived by an eight-month-old baby boy, who was found unharmed, in Hayworth's arms. The couple was shot in their home last Tuesday morning. Facebook 'unfriend' led to 2 shooting deaths. Posted: Wednesday, February 8, 2012 12:00 am | Updated: 4:27 pm, Fri Feb 8, 2013.
