A 61-year-old man has been charged for the murders of Harold and Thelma Swain, which happened in 1985. Another man was previously convicted, but was exonerated.
CAMDEN COUNTY, Ga. — Thirty-nine years later, an arrest has been made in a 1985 Camden County double murder, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) announced Monday.
Erik Kristensen Sparre, 61, of Waynesville, Ga., has been arrested and charged with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault in the 1985 killings of Harold and Thelma Swain, the GBI said in a press release. Sparre was arrested without incident and was booked into the Camden County Jail.
The investigation into the Swain murders had originally resulted in the wrongful imprisonment of Dennis Perry, who spent two decades behind bars for the murders he didn’t commit.
