In January of 2022 the Geary County Sheriff’s Office said the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division offered a $25,000 reward for any information related to the Oct. 3, 2021 murder of Enfinnity Latania Hayes at Milford Lake. The only details regarding the incident are an unidentified man demanded money from Hayes before he shot and killed her, and ran away on foot.

According to the Geary County Sheriff’s Office, Cameron Lawson is accused of killing his wife, Enfinnity Hayes Lawson, on Oct. 3, 2021, at Milford Lake. At the time, law enforcement said she was reportedly shot and robbed by an unidentified man.
