Double homicide suspect knew Carroll victims

Langley said Buckner knew his victims, visiting them often and sometimes staying overnight at the house the two shared.

"It was not a stranger-on-stranger crime," Langley said. "They were very familiar."

The man and woman were found early Wednesday evening by deputies dispatched to the house in the Peek Squire subdivision after receiving a call from Atlanta police."Atlanta PD received a call from and individual that said ...a guy there [at the caller's house] saying he had killed two people in Carrollton and he was explaining how he did it," Langley said. The caller was not identified.The responding officer found Buckner sitting in Wahl's car that was parked in the driveway of the caller's house, Langley said.

Buckner also told the APD officer he killed two people, Langley said.

Carroll County deputies found Wahl's body in the kitchen and Jackson's was in the living room.

Since late February, Smyrna police have been looking for Buckner on charges of child molestation and exposing himself to a woman at a Cobb County car wash.

On Feb. 21, he allegedly molested a 15-year-old girl while she waited in a car parked at a video rental store by groping her while stimulating himself. That encounter was captured on the store's surveillance, according to Smyrna police detective Cleveland McDuffie.

Then on March 5, he allegedly exposed himself to a 47-year-old woman at a carwash off South Cobb Drive.

McDuffie said Buckner parked behind the woman's car, commented on her body, then exposed himself. She got his license plate number and that led police to a Smyrna house where Buckner lived with his mother.

He was not there and police have been looking for him since.

Buckner's criminal history includes prison stints for forgery, terroristic threats and acts and drug possession. He was most recently released in January 2008
