A dozen large notebooks, containing the case files from two double murder cases were handed over to the district attorney's office Wednesday afternoon.

The notebooks contain interviews, crime scene and lab reports, investigators' notes and photographs related to the murder of James and Delet Powell of Union Grove and Don and Sue Barker of Statesville.

Detective Sgts. Andy Poteat and Bill Hamby of the Iredell County Sheriff's Office said hte notebooks contained more than 5,300 pages of documents, representing more than 700 interviews in the two cases.

Sheriff Phil Redmond and Poteat delivered the handtruck of files to Jamie Sparks of the district attorney's office for use in the prosecution of Barbara Ann Evans, 65, of Statesville.
