McRAE, Ga. (AP) Elrey "Bud" Runion posted an ad on Craigslist seeking to buy a piece of his youth, a replica of the 1966 Ford Mustang convertible he bought after returning from the Vietnam War decades ago.
A potential seller drew him to a small farming town in southern Georgia where authorities found the couple's SUV on Monday. Nearby, they discovered the body of Runion, 69, and his 66-year-old wife, June, authorities said. Both had been shot in the head.
Ronnie Adrian "Jay" Towns, 28, of McRae, was accused Tuesday of killing the Runions, a couple from Marietta, Georgia, who were known for their charitable works throughout the South: from storm-damaged Alabama towns and impoverished pockets of West Virginia to housing projects in the Atlanta suburbs.

Sadly, GA eliminated the electric chair... Lethal injection will be too good for this scumbag...
You got that right mate...this makes me sad to the point of almost being ill. I didn't know them but they were in my area. The man was a Vietnam Vet retired from AT&T...wife was a retired elementary school teacher who still taught pre-school at the Johnson's Ferry Baptist Church school.
This lowlife lured them in with an offer to sell a 1966 Mustang convertible to them - a car the man had always wanted. If it had been a real deal they probably would have taken their grandkids to the ice cream place many times in the car - been awesome grandparents (as they likely already were).
Not to be morbid but one can only imagine the mild excitement they had making that drive up to (hopefully) make a deal on their dream car...only to be brutally murdered for the money they brought.
Horrible.

I always meet at a fast food joint far enough from home that I’d know if they where following me..
What I don’t tell them is right next door to that fast food joint is the police station and the title clerk.
Buy the car and the title clerk is right there to make sure it gets transferred because your not getting the keys until the paperwork is done.

I think you were a tad biased in that comment from post #22.
