A Dalton, Georgia, man was charged Tuesday with murder in the death of David Casler-Tyrrell of Adairsville, whose body was found earlier this month in Whitfield County, according to a news release from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Two other men also face charges.
Christopher Napolean Barrett II, 35, was charged with murder, theft and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Barrett was found in possession of Casler-Tyrrell's vehicle in McMinn County, Tennessee, authorities said. Barrett was in custody in Tennessee and was extradited to Georgia, where he is being held at the Whitfield County Jail.
Darius Knight, 19, of Dalton, was arrested and charged Tuesday with concealing the death of another. Andrew Issac Connor, 19, of Tunnel Hill, Georgia, was arrested and charged Aug. 13 with misdemeanor willful obstruction of law officers and concealing the death of another, after the body of Casler-Tyrrell was found in Whitfield County. Both Knight and Connor are being held at the Whitfield County Jail.
The GBI was first called to look into the disappearance of Casler-Tyrrell by the Adairsville Police Department after he was reported missing by his family on Aug. 12. The GBI said the investigation revealed that Casler-Tyrrell was the victim of foul play resulting in his death.
