The Georgia Bureau of Investigation arrested and charged Gary Fowler, 74, and Mary Fowler, 73, with murder in relation to a 24-year-old case, according to a news release from the bureau.

The Fowlers, a married couple from Chatsworth, Georgia, were booked into the Bartow County Jail. The arrest was made Friday.

The charges are related to the 2001 homicide of Travis Silvers. Silvers was found dead in his truck in a Wendy’s parking lot in Adairsville, Georgia.

The bureau said the investigation is still open and gave no details connecting the Fowlers to the case in the news release.
