Events that took place in Fairfax County in July, 1947:
- July 6 – 29-year-old Norman L. Plank is shot to death in the basement of his sister Nellie L. Burrer's house at 4108 Forest Lane in the Chesterbrook Woods neighborhood of McLean.[1][2] Although originally ruled a suicide by Fairfax County Coroner Nelson Podolnick, the discovery that Burrer's 1940 automobile, as well as a suit of her 19-year-old son's clothes and Plank's checkbook and the money from his wallet had been stolen caused police to realize the scene had been staged.[1][3]
