A grand jury in Cobb County, Georgia on Friday returned a 15-count indictment against a man who prosecutors say murdered three people in cold blood and left their bodies at a golf club outside of Atlanta over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
According to the General Bill of Indictment, Bryan Anthony Rhoden, 23, allegedly kidnapped two of the victims, gagging them and binding their hands with duct tape before throwing them in the bed of a Dodge pickup truck and transporting them to the Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw where he fatally shot them. The third victim, Pinetree Director of Golf and former PGA player Gene Siller, was shot in the head and neck after venturing onto the tenth hole of the course to see why a truck was parked next to the sand trap and witnessing the crime that was in progress, prosecutors claimed.
Police said victim Paul Pierson, who was the registered owner of the pickup truck, was shot in the back, buttock, leg, and arms while victim Henry Valdez was shot in the head. Pierson, 76, was from Topeka, Kan. Valdez, 46, was from Anaheim, Calif.
