The search Wednesday morning at a VFW Drive residence was part of “Operation Guarding Innocence,” an ongoing investigation into the distribution of child pornography over the Internet.
Watkinsville Police assisted agents of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation this morning as a search warrant was issued at a residence on VFW Drive. Police Chief Lee O'Dillon said the search was part of a months-long investigation into the distribution of child pornography over the Internet. "Basically they're just gathering evidence at this point to determine if there's enough evidence to charge anybody, make an arrest," he said. At least one computer was seized from the home, he said, which the GBI will analyze. "It will be up to the GBI whether anyone is charged today.

Authorities believe they have recovered the remains of a Franklin County woman in a well close to her home in Canon. Bonny Anne Cooner, 33, was said to have ties to Athens when her family reported her missing almost two weeks ago.

He shared a house with Cooner and her 12-year-old son. Shubert, 42, was picked up in Anderson County, S.C., and has been charged with murder, aggravated assault and concealing a death, the story says. The remains are going to be excavated on Sunday and taken to the State Crime Lab to determine the cause of death.

The annual re-enactment of the Moore’s Ford Bridge Lynching is scheduled to take place Saturday, beginning at noon at the First African Baptist Church in Monroe. This is the 7th annual re-enactment of the July 25, 1946 murders of black sharecroppers George and Mae Murray Dorsey and Roger and Dorothy Malcom at Moore’s Ford Bridge on the Walton-Oconee County line. The two couples were ambushed, reportedly by a group of about 15 to 20 men, and gunned down. The crime was never solved. In 2001, former Gov. Roy Barnes commissioned the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to re-open the case and in 2006 the Federal Bureau of Investigations also re-entered investigations. Last year, a cold-case investigative unit out of Bauder College, with the help of…
