TOCCOA — This month marks the nine year anniversary of the murder of Robert Lee Simmons Jr. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is seeking the public’s assistance with any information about Simmons’ last days and his murder.

Simmons was 46 when he was found dead at his home at the Glendale Apartments on Norman Drive on March 1, 2011 by a family member. The Toccoa Police Department responded to the scene after receiving a 911 call. Simmons’ death was determined to be a homicide.

Both law enforcement and Robert Simmons’ family and friends implore anyone with information to contact the GBI or Toccoa Police Department.
