I was recently told that a young man by the name of Chad Simmons was stabbed to death in August of 1997. I would like to know more about this individual because him and I were good friends when he lived in Alpharetta, Ga. When I had met a friend from McDonough, I quickly asked him if he knew Chad and he said that he knew a Chad Simmons who had gone to Henry County High School. If at all possible, please send me some information regarding this issue. I would just like to know if this Chad Simmons was the one I had grown up with. Thank you for your time.
