From What's Happening in Paulding County:
Angela Nicole Posted “This is a weird one but I’m hoping some of you lovely people have been around these parts for many years. I’m looking for decades actually.
So when I was about 7/8 years old I live in Hiram behind a grocery store that I think was Kroger and close to sparkles I believe. The name of the street was Corley Circle. I hope that’s how you spell it. Anyways, around the time of the 93 blizzard, there was a murder, or few that happened a few doors down from me. As a matter of fact the man who killed his family knocked on our door late at night to borrow an ax. We didn’t have one so he borrowed one from people on the other side. So he then goes home and kills his wife and either her parents or his. I can’t remember. That’s the thing though, In all these years I’ve tried to find information on this story and can’t. No matter how I try to look it up. So the rumor was he was caught when he was digging the graves in the backyard. The house sat vacant for years after. I remember neighbor kids would dare you to go look in the windows and in the beginning you could see bloody drag marks down the hall carpet. It was so freaking scary as a kid.
As an adult I want to know all the stuff my parents wouldn’t tell me about it and now it’s been so long my mom only removers the basics.
Does this story sound at all familiar around the time of the blizzard? Thanks guys.”
Others commented:
Rhonda Pentecost Cline “This happened right across the cul de sac from my house. He killed them the night before and his wife called the police, they came out didn’t see anything out of the ordinary and left. The next day when he was digging the holes to bury them she called the police again and I believe he had drug one of the bodies out on the deck. It was horrible. My children were 6 and 2 and at our house with there teenage babysitter while this was all going on.”
Marilyn Sawyer “At the court house up on the 3rd floor, good through the doors, turn left all the way down the hall to probate records. Walk in and the door on the left is records.. you can go in there and all the newspapers from the 50's are in books.. you can go through there.. there's death records, church records, wills, gun permits etc.
you can take photos of everything..
The library in Marietta just east of the square as a Georgia Room.. They have all the Atlanta papers and computers to search what's in what papers.
I found several cases here in Paulding with murders going back to 1935 from all the Atlanta papers as that's where I always start first.. newspapers
I'd go there.. I'd also go to the police department and get their records.
If you need help, I'll be more then happy to dig for you or with you”
ChefNuri Thomas “Following this sounds like Dateline special or first 48 “
Melinda Paris “Yikes, he can get out of prison in 9 years!”

Staci Kennedy Holsomback “My granddaughter is in the 4th grade and packs her lunch every day!!!! They serve the same meals every week“
Dawn Barnes “My daughter packs my grandsons lunch. When my kids were growing up they would look at the menu and decide if they wanted a packed lunch or not each day.”
