Troup County deputies are searching for a 26-year-old man in connection with a murder investigation in LaGrange.

Police say they found five bodies inside a home on Woodstream Trail, in the Water’s Edge subdivision, just after 10 p.m. Saturday.

Police identified the victims as William Burtron, 69, Sheila Burtron, 68, Christie Lee, 33, Bailey Burtron, 16, and Iiaonna Green, 18.

Deputies were called to the home for a welfare check because one of the victims hadn't shown up at work for a few days. Neighbors told Channel 2’s Steve Gehlbach they had not seen any recent activity at the house.

“I'd say beginning of the week, maybe end of last week. Nothing noticeable. Let's put it that way,” neighbor Jeff Delaney said.

Once deputies arrived, they had to force their way into the home.

Police did not find a gun inside the home, but say four of the five victims were shot to death.

Police say the bodies were found in different rooms in the home.

Police are now looking for Thomas Jesse Lee, believed to be the husband of Christie Lee.

"He is not here at the home and we understand there may have been a dispute or something between one of the victims here. We have not been able to make contact with him at all,” Sgt. Stewart Smith, with the Troup County Sheriff's Office, said.

Lee is believed to be driving an olive-green Mazda Tribute with Georgia tag BRN0785.

“We’re doing any tracks we can on the cell phone, any internet searches, social media searches for him and kind of coming up with a dead end right now. Definitely if anyone knows anything about him, please call the sheriff’s office or our crimestopper’s number," Smith said.

Police say there have been no reported domestic disputes involving Lee.

“Really no past history of calls to the house and we really don't know what led up to this,” said Smith.

nvestigators are on their way to Mississippi to interview a murder suspect who was captured Monday.

Police were searching for Thomas Lee since first discovering five people killed inside a home in Troup County Saturday.

Troup County Sheriff James Woodruff credited the media and social media with sharing a photo of Lee, leading to his capture.

Woodruff said Lee asked a pastor in Mississippi for help buying a bus ticket.

The pastor did, but after seeing Lee’s photo and connecting the dots, he immediately called police.

Lee is accused of killing his wife, Christie, her parents, a family member and a friend over the weekend.

"I've been to a lot of crime scenes and this one will always stand out in my memory," Woodruff said.

Investigators believe the murders happened sometime last week.

Woodruff said Lee did not have a gun on him when he was arrested.

"Why he did it is the big question and that's what we're wanting to know and that's what the family wants to know is why," Woodruff said.

On Monday, family members of the victims released the following statement:

"All of our families are unbelievably grief stricken, the family of Iiaonna Green, and Sheila, William, Christie, Bailey Burtron continue to be appreciative of the public's prayers and concerns. We also want to acknowledge the grief that the Lee family are experiencing as well. We ask for the public not to make assumptions or speculations that could create false information or be hurtful to any of the families, or could hinder the investigation. We also request privacy for our families.
