HOLCOMB, Miss. (AP) - Members of a tiny Mississippi church are mourning the loss of their pastor who was found stabbed to death in his home this past weekend.
Authorities said Tuesday that no one had been arrested in the slayings of the Rev. Jimmy Stauddy and his caregiver, Martha Stoker. Grenada County Sheriff Alton Strider says Stauddy's wife returned home from an out-of-town trip Sunday and found their bodies.
Stauddy, who was 69, was a retired policeman and narcotics investigator. He had been a minister more than four decades and in 2002 became pastor of Minter City United Methodist Church in Leflore County.
Church members said Stauddy had continued to preach, even though he was in the advanced stages of Parkinson's disease.
