Authorities believe Jones killed Casei Jones, 32, with a baseball bat, then killed Cameron Bowers, 10, Preston Bowers, 5, Mercalli Jones, 2, and Aiyana Jones, 1, inside their home in Summerfield in late summer. Detectives believe he kept their bodies in his van for weeks until Sept. 16 when he drove north into Charlton County, Georgia, buried the bodies of the children off the side of a highway, then continued into Brantley County, where his wife’s body was discovered by deputies responding when Michael Jones got in a minor traffic crash detected “a foul odor” coming from the van.

After the bodies were found and Michael Jones was in custody, investigators with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation questioned him. He was questioned again when he was returned to Marion County.

Jones admitted there had been marital issues and money problems, complaining that there was constant “nagging, poking and prodding” by his wife. He said she would bombard him with texts, calling him a terrible person who couldn’t do anything right.

While anything resembling a confession was redacted by law, when he was told he was going to be charged with multiple counts of murder, he nodded and appeared to understand.

“The strain of it all, I guess it just caught up with me,” Michael Jones told detectives. “It was just building up, building up, building up. Before I knew it, it was too much.”
