Authorities in Spalding County said Thursday they had arrested a suspect in the case of two bodies being found earlier this week in a burned-out pickup truck.
The Spalding County Sheriff's Office said Erik Eduardo Cabrealopez had been arrested and charged with two counts of murder, felony murder, malice murder, aggravated assault, kidnapping, concealing a death, and tampering with evidence.
They identified the victims, whose bodies were found Tuesday after the truck fire was extinguished, as 29-year-old Joshua Wyatt and 36-year-old Carlos Benford. They had both been reported missing in Henry County by their families. The family told authorities Benford was a diabetic and was "insulin-dependent." Wyatt's family said he was a young man who "continuously stayed in touch with his family."
