A man suspected in a triple slaying in Jonesborough, Tenn., has been captured in New Orleans, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation just tweeted.

The TBI said it is working with the Washington County Sheriff's Office on the investigation of Daniel Lee Henry.

On its website, the TBI said Washington County deputies went to a home in Jonesborough after receiving a call from someone in California stating that Henry had killed his family.

Officers went to the home on Skyline Road where Henry lived and found three dead bodies, the TBI said.

The Johnson City Press identified the dead as Robert Kenneth Henry, 66 and Melody Diane Henry, 55, who were Henry's parents, and Barbara June Hammonds, 64.

Sheriff Ed Graybeal told the Johnson City Press investigators believe the victims were killed between midnight Oct. 1 and midnight Oct. 2.

Graybeal also told the Johnson City paper that U.S. Marshals tracked Henry to New Orleans, where he had checked into a hotel under his own name, and arrested him.
