Two bodies found near pond where missing couple’s car was discovered

A grim discovery was made when authorities found the bodies of two people near the same pond where a missing Georgia couple’s car was recovered.

FoxNews.com noted that law enforcement officials said a positive identification has not been made and they cannot yet confirm if the bodies are indeed Elrey “Bud” Runion and his wife June.

Channel 2 Action News in Georgia reported that suspect Ronnie "Jay" Towns turned himself in to the Telfair County Sheriff's Department Monday morning.

The 28-year-old Towns has not been formally charged at this time, but is allegedly the last person to have spoken to the couple via telephone before they disappeared Thursday night.

Investigators said the pair left their home that evening and headed to look at a car they found on Craigslist and were interested in buying.

The couple was reported missing by their children on Friday when they did not show up to babysit their grandchildren.

The matter in which the victims died still has to be determined by the medical examiner’s office.
