In a major breakthrough, law enforcement officials have arrested four individuals in connection with the long-standing triple murder case that shocked Montgomery residents over a decade ago. Cheryl Colquitt-Thompson, Quinones King, and Rodney Cottrell were found dead inside a vehicle along Interstate 85 in the Atlanta area in 2013.

The families of the victims have endured more than ten years of uncertainty and anguish, desperately seeking answers. However, this week brought a sudden turn of events as law enforcement from Clayton County, Georgia, announced the issuance of warrants and subsequent arrests in three different states within just 48 hours.

The suspects, identified as Kenneth Thompson, Keante Harris, Kevin Harris, and Darrell Harris, are now in custody and facing charges of three counts of malice murder. It remains unclear if the suspects are related to each other.

Authorities have not disclosed the specific locations of the arrests; however, the ongoing investigation reportedly involved law enforcement agencies from Alabama, North Carolina, and South Carolina. This multi-state endeavor signifies the gravity of the case and the collaborative effort to ensure justice is served.

The tragic incident began in January 2013, when a Union City police officer on routine patrol discovered a seemingly abandoned silver car on an on-ramp. Upon closer inspection of the 2010 Dodge Charger, the officer made the distressing discovery of King and Cottrell's bodies in the backseat, while Colquitt-Thompson was found in the trunk. She was the owner of the vehicle.

According to a release from the Clayton County Sheriff's office, the victims were lured to a residence where they were forcibly taken inside at gunpoint. Subsequently, they were subjected to torture before being ruthlessly murdered. The perpetrators then loaded the bodies into Colquitt-Thompson's Dodge and transported them to Fulton County, where they were eventually abandoned.

While the exact details surrounding the evidence that led to the arrests and the motive behind the chilling murders remain unknown, law enforcement officials credited Chief Kevin Robert of the Clayton County Police Department and his team for cracking the 11-year-old cold case. Their diligent efforts provided the Clayton County District Attorney Tasha Mosley and her team with the necessary information to secure murder indictments from the grand jury.

This recent development brings renewed hope for the families of the victims, who have long awaited justice. As the legal process unfolds, authorities are expected to delve further into the motives and circumstances surrounding this gruesome crime, allowing closure to finally be within reach for the loved ones affected by this tragedy.
