Human remains found in Jmaal Keyes investigation

HAWKINSVILLE, Ga. -- The Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced Tuesday that evidence collected in the case of a missing college student turned out to be human remains.

The charred evidence was found last Friday near Cabero Road in Hawkinsville, Ga. The GBI said in a statement that the evidence was found in an area adjacent to the home where the 17-year-old suspect, Robert Kane Rolison, lived.

GBI officials uncovered the evidence while investigating the case of Jmaal Keyes, a Middle Georgia State College student from Hiram who vanished weeks ago.

Bank robbery, police chase suspect denied bond

ACWORTH, Ga. -- The woman accused of robbing a bank and leading police on a long chase had her first court appearance Tuesday morning.

Ancelly Green was denied bond. Her next hearing will be June 11.

Green was arrested Monday and booked into the Cobb County Adult Detention Center.

Police say Green walked into a SunTrust bank in Acworth and threatened to detonate a bomb if the teller did not hand over money.

Investigators believe she got away with cash, but when officers tried to pull her over for a traffic violation, she began a 22-mile chase that ended when she lost control of her SUV and flipped on Interstate 75 in Buckhead.

Paulding County student labeled 'Freak' in yearbook

Submitted by Devin Fehely, 11Alive Reporter

DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. -- South Paulding High School freshman Dylan Worthen thought he was reaching the end of a successful first year of high school.

The 16 year old had made friends and joined the high school marching band, playing trumpet in the horn section.

But now Dylan and his mother Susan Powell fear his freshman year will be forever remembered for the cruel prank that was printed in the school yearbook.

Dylan says his friends alerted him this weekend that the word "Freak" had been printed next to his name in the caption for a marching band photo. In the caption, Dylan's last name is hyphenated: "Worthen-Freak."

Powell says she isn't sure if the mistake was intended as a joke but considered it no laughing matter, comparing it to bullying.

Powell says she urged the principal to confiscate the yearbooks and have them destroyed and re-printed.
