Suspect Falls to His Death After MS Triple Murder

Authorities in Mississippi are trying to figure out the motive in a weekend triple murder, but the suspect is dead after a long fall.

FOX News Radio’s Dave Anthony has the story:

They know WHAT happened Saturday, they just don’t yet know WHY.  Anthony Garrett killed his mother, stepfather and his girlfriend, then he…

(DeNardo) “Climbed a cell phone tower, and was yelling obscenities to everybody and yelled out that he just killed his family.”

…Bay St. Louis Police Chief Mike DeNardo.

(DeNardo) “He didn’t want to go back to jail.  He’s a career criminal, he’s a convicted sex offender.”

He’d just recently gotten out of prison.  Police and firefighters tried to get Garrett to come down from the tower, then he fell about 300 feet to his death.

(DeNardo) “And one neighbor came forward and said there was some, past couple days, seemed to be some tension between some of the family members.”
