📋 Who Was Nancy Schaefer?
- Served in the Georgia State Senate from 2005 to 2009, representing the 50th district.
- A conservative Christian leader, she gained attention for her 2008 investigative report, “The Corrupt Business of Child Protective Services.”
- She became a vocal opponent of what she described as unethical, even criminal behavior by CPS agencies and juvenile courts.
🧠 Her Fight Against CPS

- She claimed her political career was jeopardized due to her outspoken stance, and that families across Georgia had sought her help in child-custody disputes.
Here’s what she had to say about CPS:
⚰️ Her Death & Official Findings
- On March 26, 2010, Schaefer and her husband, Bruce, were found dead at their home in Habersham County, Georgia. Bruce was reported to have shot Nancy and then himself. Police labeled the incident a murder–suicide. A purported note was also found.
- Authorities concluded the couple died by mutual agreement, though motives and stress factors were not clearly established.
🔍 Public Doubts & Conspiracy Claims
- Many supporters and conservative commentators contest the official ruling, citing Schaefer’s strong religious convictions, lack of mental illness indicators, and long career history as problems for the murder-suicide narrative.
- Speculation persists that Nancy was investigating high-ranking officials and alleged CPS or foster care corruption in Georgia—and that her death may have been intended to silence her.
🧭 Why This Still Matters
- Schaefer remains a controversial symbol in the debate over CPS accountability.
- Her death continues to fuel distrust among those who believe governmental agencies may operate without proper oversight—or worse, in active concealment.
- The absence of an independent or federal reopening of the case leaves many questions unanswered.
