NASHVILLE — One man is charged with murdering three people and another suspect is charged with concealing their deaths stemming from what started as a South Georgia missing person case.

Friday, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation obtained arrest warrants for Jonathan Vann, 20, and Keyante Greene, 25, in relation to the deaths of three missing people in Berrien and Atkinson counties, according to a GBI report.

The suspects were taken into custody earlier in the week in connection with the case.

Vann is charged with two counts of malice murder in connection to the deaths of Wayne Hackle Jr. and Bobbie Lynn Moore in Atkinson County, according to the GBI. In Berrien County, Vann is charged with one count of malice murder for the death of Mercedes Hackle and for arson in connection with a burned vehicle, the GBI reports.

Greene is charged with two counts of concealing the death of another person in relation to Wayne Hackle Jr. and Moore in Atkinson County; Greene is also charged with one count of concealing the death of another person in relation to Mercedes Hackle in Berrien County, authorities said.

Authorities found the bodies of two people early in the week and discovered the third body Thursday; all near the Berrien-Atkinson county line.

The case began with a missing persons report filed early in the week.

The Berrien County Sheriff’s Office asked the GBI to assist with the missing persons investigation following the discovery of a vehicle on fire.

At 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, the sheriff’s office responded to the scene of a vehicle on fire in the area off Ga. 135 at the Alapaha River near the Atkinson County line. The investigation determined the car was used by Moore, 22, according to a GBI statement.

Moore, Ronnie Wayne Hackle Jr., 27, and Mercedes Maelyn Hackle, 17, did not responded to attempts to contact them and were reported missing, according to the statement.

The GBI, Berrien County Sheriff’s Office, Atkinson County Sheriff’s Office, Georgia State Patrol and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources have worked the case.

The remains were sent to the GBI Medical Examiner’s Office in Macon for autopsy and identification, authorities said.

Authorities encourage anyone with information to contact the Berrien County Sheriff’s Office, (229) 686-7071, or the GBI’s Douglas Office, (912) 389-4103.
