Guy Heinze, 22, was actually the person that called 911 to report finding his family dead. Heinze told the dispatch “My whole family's dead!"
Heinze had been arrested for evidence tampering and drug possession and according to police was not listed as a suspect in the 8 murders of his family.
However, once he was out of jail on those charges, Heinze was re-arrested and charged with 8 counts of murder and criminal attempt to commit murder.
The Glynn County officer with assistance from other law enforcement agencies and volunteers diligently investigated this case and was able to make an arrest.
Even though the police did not call him a suspect, I found it a little odd that he was arrested for evidence tampering. Why would he be tampering with evidence if he had nothing to hide?
Of the 8 murdered, 4 were children.
The Chief of Police said this was the worst crime in his 25 years on the force.
The police said that the 12 minute 911 call that Heinze made did provide some of the only details about the crime.
During the call Heinze said that he found one member of his family alive and that he was barely breathing. His cousin Michael had Down syndrome. Heinze was screaming his is alive, he’s beat up and his face is smashed in.
This brutal murder had the entire community on edge and some of the people in the community were critical of the police because of the lack of information being released by the police.
Hopefully now the members of the community can rest a little easier now knowing that Heinze has been arrested.
But none the less, during the time they were looking for Heinze, people for the first time ever locked their doors and kept loaded shotguns and firearms just in case there was a violent murderer on the loose.
