Three men charged in connection with three people reported missing in Parker County
Three men are facing charges in connection with the deaths of three people in Parker County earlier this month.
Barrett Copeland, 19, and Trin Lawrence McKnight, 27, are in the Parker County Jail, each charged with capital murder; their bonds for the murder charges were set at $1 million each. Copeland was also charged with burglary, and McKnight had an outstanding warrant out of Tarrant County.
Michael Dylan Lee Morris, 18, is also in the Parker County Jail. He was charged with abuse of a corpse, tampering with evidence and failure to report in connection with the case.
Initially, police had charged another man with capital murder in the case, but later said he was exonerated after investigators concluded he wasn't tied to the crime.
In a news release, the Parker County Sheriff's Office said the men were arrested for allegedly killing Tiffany Ann Williams, 44, David Wayne Walker, 42, and Robbie Allen Head, 55. They did not reveal any information about the killings, other than that they happened at a residence in southern Parker County on Sunday, April 20.
The victims were initially classified as missing and endangered. Three bodies matching the descriptions of the victims were discovered in northern Hood County, within a few miles of the crime scene, on Thursday, April 24. However, authorities still have not confirmed that the bodies found were those of the victims.
The Tarrant County medical examiner has also not identified the bodies.
Parker County authorities said they will not publicly release any more details about the case.
