A Florida man is alleged to have killed his wife and their four children and then stored their remains in his house and van for several weeks before taking the bodies to Georgia.
According to the Marion County Sheriff’s office, the body of Casei Jones, 32, was found near Brantley County in southeast Georgia on Monday, September 16 – around 150 miles north of her last known address. Investigators also believe they’ve discovered the remains of her four children.
Jones and her children, whose ages range from 1 to 10, were last seen six weeks ago. Her family reported them missing on Saturday night.
