Listed on Craigslist was a Mustang Convertible for $1. The Runions, a married couple, were interested, reports the Washington Post.
Elrey "Bud" (69) had driven one when he got back from the Vietnam War and wanted to get back behind the wheel of another one. Runion then posted this message on Craiglist: "Prefer red or black interior and top … with an automatic. Call or text Bud.” After a short time he had a reply. He and his wife (June, 66) took off to a place three hours south of their home to get the car.
The plan was for he couple to return Thursday night, so you can imagine the alarm their family felt when on Friday the couple didn't answer texts or calls. Daughter Virginia Owens was shocked, saying this in an AOL interview about her father: "He would have certain protocols and security measures he would follow. He would always say 'meet someone in a very lit parking lot.' Dad was the type to think of the 'if-then' situations and 'if this happened then this is what you need to do.'"
On Monday, the car was found submerged in a lake with the couples' bodies in it. They had both been shot in the head.
Ronie Jay Towns (alleged killer) appeared in Telfair County Court on Tuesday. The judge denied bond and Towns left in handcuffs and a prison uniform.
