MOULTRIE, Ga. — A third person has been charged in the execution-style slayings of five people, including a 3-year-old boy.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said 32-year-old Alexander Woods II was charged with five counts of murder this week in connection with the November 2004 deaths. Jerry Johnny Thompson and Wilma Ann Yvonne Stover are also charged in the killings.
The three are charged with killing Jaime Cruz Resendez, 25; his wife, Katrina "Tina" Darlene Resendez, 29; the couple's son, Juan Carlos Resendez, 3; Katrina's mother, Betty Watts, 50; and family friend and housekeeper, Liliana Alegria Aguilar, 30.
Authorities said Jaime and Katrina Resendez had been cooperating with authorities after drug agents caught them with 138 pounds of marijuana. They say information from the couple had led to the arrests of several drug dealers in Texas.
