MORGAN CO., Ala. (WAFF) - The District Attorney, Sheriff’s Office and smaller police departments around Morgan County have teamed up with the FBI. The task force helps everything from smaller police departments to larger agencies around north Alabama.
”There’s a lot of technical, computerized tools that are so vital now in helping us solve crimes. It’s kind of ironic, they joined just shortly before the Valhermoso Springs septuple murder case, which was a huge benefit to us,” said Anderson.

Two men accused of murdering seven people, including an Athens man, in Valhermoso Springs were indicted last week, according to reports.
Morgan County Sheriff’s Office shared a release Friday in which the county’s district attorney, Scott Anderson, announced 23-year-old Frederic Allen Rogers of Woodville and 20-year-old John Michael Legg of Hartselle had each been indicted by a Morgan County grand jury on six counts of capital murder.
The septuple homicide occurred in June 2020 in the 500 block of Talucah Road in Valhermoso Springs, about 18 miles east of Decatur. Jeramy Wade Roberts, 31, of Athens was among the first of the seven victims to be publicly identified by authorities. A dog was also shot and killed in the attack.
