A magnet-wielding fisherman has unearthed crucial evidence in a nine-year-old murder case, potentially strengthening the prosecution’s case against the suspect, Ronnie Adrian “Jay” Towns. The retrieved items include a rifle, cellphone, and the victims’ credit cards and driver’s licenses. This newly discovered evidence is expected to augment the existing charges against Towns, who is facing the death penalty for the murders of Bud and June Runion in 2015.
New evidence has emerged in a murder case that has been ongoing for over nine years. A citizen magnet fishing in Horse Creek in Telfair County, Georgia, discovered a .22-caliber rifle and a bag containing a cellphone, driver’s licenses, and credit cards. The items were determined to belong to Bud and June Runion, a couple who were robbed and fatally shot in the same area in 2015. The discovery has led investigators to search a Telfair County home and recover additional evidence.
