(AP) – A 22-year-old man was charged today with killing eight people whose deaths he had reported to police in a frantic phone call from his family's Georgia mobile home. Guy Heinze Jr. was arrested on eight counts of first-degree murder in the slayings last weekend near the coastal community of Brunswick. Among those killed were seven of Heinze's relatives.

In a frantic telephone call Aug. 29, Heinze had told a police dispatcher, "My whole family's dead!" Hours after the bodies were found, Heinze was charged with evidence tampering, lying to police and drug possession. But police didn't say until today that they suspected him of the killings.

When they say, "Crack kills," they're not screwing around.

Yeah PCP will do that to you. But I don't think this is something someone could do alone.

i'm from the south, right next to GA, and that was my first thought - "way to go there, fella. really makin us look good over here, thanks for nothing" but yeah, it's pretty much nuts everywhere these days, thats for sure. i blame overpopulation myself - when species in nature become overpopulated for their habitats, they start engaging in progressively aggressive behavior and doing things like killing and eating each other and their babies, i guess nature's attempt to restore some balance. just my theory.
