Columbus GA. March 20 2008 – Authorities say tonight that a multi-state search for three missing children has ended tragically. Their bodies were found Wednesday afternoon in Georgia.
Agena Battle publicly pleaded for help just a short time after authorities issued an Amber Alert for her three-year-old son and twin two-year-old daughters. Police said Battle's fiancee Eddie Harrington abducted their kids in the middle of the night almost three weeks ago. Police and FBI agents have been looking for them every since and on Wednesday afternoon that search ended when their bodies were found. Police say that they have been searching for Eddie Harrington, his 3-year-old son Cedric and his 23-month-old twins Agana and Aliyah, since March 5.
Authorities said a passer-by found the bodies of Harrington and the children in his car, in a rural wooded area near Columbus, Georgia.
"A citizen who was walking in the area checked on a vehicle that they saw parked and found the bodies in the vehicle and immediately called the Columbus Police Department," said Special Agent Donnie Green of the FBI.
At one point authorities thought Harrington may be heading north to his parents' Indianapolis home. But they still don't know if he actually left the state with his three abducted kids.
The FBI said Harrington mailed a letter to his father indicating he was going to kill the kids.
Harrington's parents were returning from a trip when they got word of the murder-suicide. They were too distraught to speak with 24-Hour News 8 but have said in the past that they don't know why Harrington kidnapped his kids.
The children's mother said the family moved to Columbus six months ago for her to attend college. The couple was supposed to get married this summer.
Officials said Harrington had a history of serious mental illness.
Officials did not say how Harrington and the three children died.
