Though police had charged two teens - Reo Jonta Thompson, 17, and Gregory Brooks Jr., 18 - with several counts related to the murders of Ruby and Milton McClendon, they had yet to file murder charges against them even as it was reported one of the teens confessed. That all changed today as both teens were charged with two counts of murder in the perpetration of a robbery. The teens also claimed there was a third person with them, named Kevin Langley. CBS 2 reports, "The teens reportedly have blamed each other for the shootings, and charging affidavits do not detail the killings...investigators do not believe Kevin Langley is a real person." The pair, arrested last week in Cook County, have since been extradited back to Indiana where they are each being held on $250,000 bail. more ›

As evidence against them mounts, the pair of teenagers suspected in the murder of Ruby and Milton McClendon are each being held on $250,000 bail. But while the pair have been charged with auto theft, robbery, burglary and confinement, no murder charges have been filed yet as the investigation continues. According to the Tribune, one of the charged teens, 18-year-old Gregory Brooks, allegedly admitted to the robbery and murders, reportedly telling police that after he, 17-year-old Reo Thompson, and a third man robbed the couple, they left their home but later returned to "finish them." more ›
