The unsolved murders of two Iredell County couples - neirly eight months apart - were probably commited by the same individuals.
Sheriff Phil Redmond announced Wednesday that authorities believe the double slaying of James and Delet Powell and Don and Sue Barker are related.
Redmond said he could not comment on exactly what evidence tied the two cases together.
Investigators have looked into the similarities of these two cases since the Barkers were found nearly a month ago.
Both slayings likely occured on a Thursday night, and both Don Barker and James Powell were involved in or had been store owners.
James Powell had retired after owning and operating several convenience-style stores in Iredell County.
Don Barker was the longtime owner and operator of Barker's Grocery on Turnersburg Highway.
