The DeKalb County Sheriff's office announced the arrest of a man after two women were found dead on December 4.
The bodies of Ruth Genett Rowland, 79, and Charlotte W. Harper, 76, were found inside a home in the 200 block of County Road 158 in Fyffe. The Powell Police Department, the DeKalb Ambulance Service and the sheriff's office responded to the scene.
The DeKalb County Drug and Major Crimes Unit was notified and processed the scene. Investigators determined the bodies had been in the homes for several days.
Oliver Nick Harper, 37, of Fyffe, was arrested and charged with two counts of abuse of a corpse. The sheriff's office said the charges stemmed from actions in the days after the two elderly women died.
"As we continue this investigation our hearts go out to the family and loved ones of Ms. Rowland and Ms. Harper, please keep all of them in your thoughts and prayers," said Sheriff Nick Welden. "I am deeply grateful for the hard work of our investigators and partner agencies and will remain committed to finding the truth and achieving justice in this case. God Bless!"
The investigation remains active, and more charges are possible.
