The double-homicide victims have been identified as Marie Kitchens Martin and her great-grandson Colton Ryan Lee. Martin was 74-years-old and a longtime resident of Guntersville; Colton was 7-years-old, and visiting from Huntsville.
Police did not release the way the two died, but said they were "brutally murdered."
Shortly after putting out a lookout bulletin for a person of interest in the crime, police captured 30-year-old Christopher Michael Chambers. He's been questioned in the slaying and is being held in the Guntersville jail on unrelated, outstanding warrants. He also has outstanding warrants from Marshall County.
Regarding the 2 additional bodies:
While they were investigating the Mulberry Street scene, a neighbor alerted officers to a house across the street, where the homeowner hadn't been seen in about 10 days. The neighbor knew that resident, 65-year-old Martha Reliford, had medical problems. Police entered the home to do a welfare check, and found Reliford dead inside.
Within an hour of finding Reilford, a fourth person was found dead about a quarter mile away in a ditch on Miller Street. That victim was identified as James Michael Baker, who had been reported missing from his home in Albertville early Friday morning.
Police said Baker's death appears to be natural, but they're not ruling out foul play.
The four bodies were sent to Huntsville for an autopsy, and investigators asked the bodies be placed on "priority status."
