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."
