Two White County residents have been charged with Sunday’s murder of the youth minister of Pendergrass Baptist Church.

The body of Edward Frank Harris, Jr., 44, Clermont, was found off the roadway near a vacant house in Cleveland around 4 a.m. Monday morning.

William Joseph Dyer, 21, and Jennifer Dawn Lineberger, 29, both of Cleveland have been arrested in the killing. Both suspects have been charged with one count of felony murder. Dyer has also been charged with armed robbery.

According to published reports, Harris called his family Sunday night around 7 p.m. from the church to say he was giving “some stranded people” a ride to Cleveland.

Officers of the Cleveland Police Department are being assisted by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s Cleveland Office, the Office of the District Attorney for the Enotah Judicial Circuit, the White County Sheriff’s Office and the White County Coroner’s Office.

I think it would be a decent thing for ALOT
of US in the surrounding areas to get
together and raise money to replace
the family vehicle which was the murder weapon.
it does not have to be fancy just dependable.

I am the son of Rev. Frank Harris and would like to make it very clear that my dad was a man of God.

Even my dad has already forgiven those who murdered him. Let us learn from his example. Do not live with hate in your heart.

In the Bible it does say to, "love your enemies as thyself".

My dad did.

And I do believe that it also says in the Bible that God never views one sin greater than another, because the simple fact is that they are sins.

So...pray for us as a family and those who knew him, but also pray for those who comitted the offense, for they need more deliverance than I or anyone who knew my dad do. Remember that.

What in the world must someone who can do something like this be thinking? Just absolutely pitiful.

The idea of forgiving them I do understand but it will be easier for me when I know that the Good Bye Juice is running through their veins.
