FAYETTEVILLE – Investigators trying to solve six killings at four locations along the Tennessee-Alabama state line have found a common thread: one of the slain knew all the victims.FAYETTEVILLE – Investigators trying to solve six killings at four locations along the Tennessee-Alabama state line have found a common thread: one of the slain knew all the victims.
Authorities had been looking for 24-year-old Warren Vincent Crutcher when he was found dead, the victim of a homicide, in north Alabama on Tuesday. He had been wanted since Monday for questioning in the deaths of three women and a toddler a few miles north, in Lincoln County, Tenn.
Authorities are still trying to sort out what Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Kristin Helm described as a “tangled web” of relationships between Crutcher, the slain and two young children who weren’t injured in the attacks.
“All they know is there are four or five murders involved. And it seems to all center around my grandson,” Warren Crutcher’s grandfather, Lorenzo Crutcher, said Wednesday.
The grandfather said he hadn’t seen his grandson in more than a month and didn’t know what he did for a living.
