by Kyra Rogers  Charred remains are all that's left of the home of Hairle Hayes.A place Roy Lepard had many meals."If he needed food or whatever we would take it to him and make sure he was cared for."That is exactly what Roy and his son were doing when they found Hayes' body.16 year old James Lepard was delivering some Thanksgiving turkey to his neighbor when he first noticed some blood."We walked in the back bedroom and there was blood all over the pillows and sheets it was on the hallways and carpets."When I started coming back around my dad started yelling that Bo was laying on the ground here looking like he had been beaten to death."The nightmare wasn't over yet, before Hayes could be laid to rest disaster struck again."I thought I heard some firecrackers or something but I thought it was a dream," Just four days after Hayes death, Roy Lepard was startled by sirens."The fire trucks woke me, my wife, and my oldest son up. By the time I got out here they were already starting to put it out."Roy says Hayes was the type of man loved by everyone. He can't think of anyone who would want to harm him.
