GUNTERSVILLE, AL. (THECOUNT) — Christopher Michael Chambers, of Marshall Country, AL., has been taken in custody after being named as a “person of interest,” in a horror Friday Guntersville double-murder.
Chambers, 30, was taken into custody late Friday. At about 12:30 a.m. Saturday, police said they were still processing him and that charges were pending.
A call came in around 4:30 p.m. Friday about a death on Mulberry Street. Police discovered two people dead inside the home. It was determined to be a double homicide. While at the first home, officers were told that no one had heard from a neighbor across the street. Officers went to do a welfare check and discovered the person in that house was also dead. That death has not been classified as a homicide. source
Police also found the body of a man who had been reported missing earlier in the day. His truck was discovered parked near a body of water. Police did not release his cause of death, but told local reporters that he required daily medications.
Investigators have not released the victim’s ages or genders.
THECOUNT.COM has obtained a prior Marshall Country booking photo of who we believe is Chambers. This has not been confirmed by authorities.
