    Police in Carrollton, Georgia have found what they believe to be the body of University of West Georgia student Marcelle Elliott from a swampy area along Laurel Road. They found her shortly after eleven last night. The body has been sent to the GBI Crime Lab for positive identification.

    Two suspects in the murder have been arrested and charged. They are currently lodged in the Carroll County jail. They are 31-year-old Joshua Clay and 29-year-old Farrah Strength, both of Carrollton.

    Farrah Strength apparently admitted her role in the murder to police yesterday during questioning and told police where to locate her body. They aren’t releasing the motive yet but Strength and Elliott were good friends until about a year ago. Strength allegedly lured Elliott to Carrollton last Thursday.

    Strength was questioned because Elliott’s phone records led police to her and she was interviewed several times before she admitted to the crime, lying to the family and police in order to make them believe she was helping them out.

    Updated 8/3/10 – According to someone I spoke to with the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department Farrah Strength has confessed to having strangled Marcy Elliott. She and Joshua Clay then loaded Marcy’s body in a car and dumped her in a swampy area.

    I don’t do a lot of missing person stories but this is local so I wanted to get it out her.

    21-year-old Marcelle ‘Marcy’ Elliot disappeared from Carrollton, Georgia on Thursday night. Marcy is a student at the University of West Georgia and is out on summer break right now but was visiting friends near the campus on Lovvorn Road.

    Police have recovered Elliot’s car which was parked where she left it at The Loft, an apartment complex in Carrollton. A witness at the complex saw Elliot arrive, get out of the car and walk around the building. There has been no cell phone or debit card usage on her accounts since Thursday and while police say they don’t suspect foul play they aren’t ruling anything out.

    How can they not suspect foul play after six days?

    Police are going door to door and searching the woods and vacant homes near the apartment building Marcy was visiting.

    Child Abuse 18.06.2010 8 Comments

    Back in July of last year 41-year-old Tammy Denise Truitt of Carrollton, Georgia was babysitting four children including a 9-month-old child while their mom drove to Atlanta for a family emergency. When the kid’s grandmother arrived to pick the children up she found the baby unresponsive. He was immediately taken to the hospital where blood tests revealed an alcohol level of .33, well over the legal limit for adults.

    The child ended up being treated in the hospital in Carrollton and was transferred to Atlanta before he was sent home with a clean bill of health.

    Tammy ended up admitting to giving the baby wine in his sippy cup in order to get him to sleep and was arrested on charges of aggravated battery. She ended up pleading guilty recently to the charges. Truitt was sentenced to eight years in prison for her stupidity.

  • Rodreick Found Guilty of Child Porn

    Child Porn, Local 28.02.2010 9 Comments

    35-year-old Rodreick Ali Turner of Carrollton, GA was found guilty earlier this week of eight counts of Sexual Exploitation of Children. His trial started Monday and the charges are felonies that carry 5-20 years for each charge. His sentencing is on March 11th at 1:30pm.

    About a year ago the Internet Crimes Against Children unit of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation as part of the investigation called “Shattered Innocence” determined that Turner quite possibly had downloaded child pornography.

    The Carrollton Police Department joined in the investigation at that time and after Turner’s computer was seized it was found to have contained child porn videos which had been downloaded off of a peer-to-peer file sharing network.

    Turner’s latest status update on his Facebook account says ‘God is working on my behalf. Thank you Jesus’.  If there really is a God, apparently he really is working. Redreick also has two MySpace accounts which don’t really have much information. There is nothing left on the new one. The older one, which he hasn’t logged into in three years says,

    I am about 5’11" about 235 lbs. I am the Minister of Music at Faith Deliverance Baptist Church. I love going out and having a good time, meet new, intersting people. I also enjoy being a husband to my beautiful wife.

    I don’t have a decent mug shot so you’ll just have to settle for the crappy photo above.
