District Attorney General Dave Clark has filed a notice that he will be seeking the death penalty for the pair, Sean Finnegan and Rebecca Dishman who were formally indicted for murder by an Anderson County Grand Jury on June 1st of last year for the August 2020 death of 36-year-old Jennifer Paxton. Investigators said Dishman and Finnegan lured Paxton into their home with the promise of giving her a place held against her will.
