According to the Talladega Times, authorities found Landon Durham on Wednesday morning at around 7:30 a.m., while he was traveling toward Etowah County on County Road 71. He was arrested “without incident” across the street from a restaurant.

 

“This is the kind of crimes you see on TV or the media or the internet that happen in other places and for heaven, here it really hits home,” said Giddens. “Munford, like all communities in this county, are pretty close-knit, and I know they’re hurting, and we are, too … I’m not wishing this on somebody else but it’s hard to believe these things happen.”

 

The Talladega County Sheriff’s Office said that it appeared that the victims were all stabbed to death with a knife.

The investigation is ongoing and authorities have not indicated a possible motive. Anyone with any information should contact the Talladega County Sheriff’s office at 256-761-2141 or the Talladega County E-911 at 256-761-1556. You can also leave an anonymous tip at www.talladegasheriff.com.
