Coosa County, AL - A major break in a 14-year old cold case from Coosa County. Three men are in the county jail charged with murder and attempted murder in the so-called "Lay Dam Road" incident. In May 1995, fire departments answered a call to a hunting cabin off county road 55. They found three victims tied up and set on fire. They said they did not know the three men who attacked them. Two of the victims died of their injuries. Deputies have arrested L.C. Collins, Junior of Gadsden, Mickie Wayne Collins of Attalla and Navarre, Florida resident Charles Richard Tooley. Coosa County sheriff terry-wilson says it took the coperation of several agencies to bring this case to a close.  At a news conference, he said, "People are sometimes reluctant to reach out, but they need to know they can trust law enforcement and I think it's made a difference in this case." Sheriff Wilson also said this is an ongoing investigation.

Worthless murderers? hmmmmm. Let's see you tie up 3 people and set them on fire I'd say that makes you a worthless murderer. That's about as cruel and sadistic as it gets.

Over drugs? The whole story never told? Who cares? you don't tie up 3 people and set them on fire, drugs or no drugs.

A dead sheriff? Well he's dead, how convenient for you. We can't ask him anything now can we? I don't know exactly what part of this story the dead sheriff played a role in but your tone sounds a little accusatory. You shouldn't talk bad of the dead unless you have proof of what you are talking about.

Only one person committed these murders but there was a 4th person involved? Really? Now how is only one guilty but a 4th one was involved? Either 4 people are guilty of being involved or there was only one but your math sucks. But you apparently know more than law enforcement. Since you know so much why is it that you haven't turned anyone in for 14 years? Kind of makes you an accessory after the fact.

So you're whole family isn't a bunch of worthless murderers, just a few of ya are. The rest keep their mouth shut and by doing so support those who are worthless murderers. That makes all of you guilty.

The news didn't say the whole Collins family committed these murders, just 2 of ya. But just in case we don't want your family's apparent lack of sense or murderous ways to continue. So I propose that ya'll aren't allowed to reproduce anymore, ever.

Just you coming on here wasn't too bright, ya know? You claim that your entire family is not a bunch of murderers. So I guess that means just a few of you are? Wow, sounds like you just admitted guilt for some of your family members.

You coming on here and saying what you have just makes you're family look bad period. I don't recall the news article saying the Collins family are all bad seed, but you definitely make me wonder about that fact now.
