A person magnet fishing in Horse Creek found a .22-caliber rifle, a cellphone, driver's licenses and credit cards, authorities said.

Elrey "Bud" Runion, 69, and June Runion, 66, died in January 2015 and police later arrested Ronnie “Jay” Towns in connection to their deaths.

He’s attracting new evidence. A fisherman using a magnet to find metal objects in a Georgia creek pulled out a rifle and other items now expected to be key in the trial of a man long suspected of murdering an elderly couple nine years ago.
