LAGRANGE, GA (WXIA) – Authorities said the bodies of five people were found in a LaGrange home late Saturday evening. Investigators said they are looking for a person of interest in the case.
They said the call came in at about 10 p.m., Saturday.
The Troup County Sheriff's Office was asked to conduct a welfare check at the home in the 100 block of Woodstream Trail at about 10 p.m., when the bodies were found. Initially, deputies said four bodies had been found, but indicated a fifth victim had been found a few hours later.
Inside the house were the bodies of four females and one male. The victims were identified as 69-year-old William Burtron, 68-year-old Sheila Burton, 33-year-old Christie Lee, 18-year-old Iiaonna Green and 16-year-old Bailey Burton.
Authorities said the people may have been dead for more than a day, based on the condition of the bodies.
Investigators said they were looking for the husband of one of the victims – Thomas Jesse Lee, 26 – who they said was staying at the home. He's described as 6-feet-3-inches tall, and weighing about 190 pounds. He was thought to be driving an olive green Mazda Tribute with Georgia tag BRN0785.
