CAMDEN COUNTY, Ga. — The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is exhuming the bodies of a couple killed more than 30 years ago in Camden County.
Deacon Harold Swain and his wife Thelma were shot and killed in 1985 while inside the Rising Daughters Baptist Church.
Action News Jax reported this summer when Dennis Perry, a man who was serving time following his arrest in the killings 20 years ago, was released from prison.
His convictions were thrown out when DNA evidence linked a former suspect to the murders.
The GBI is now looking for new DNA evidence. This is a developing story. Check back for updates and watch FOX30/CBS47 for a live report.
