Suspect In Hilltop Double-Homicide Pleads Guilty

Columbus Division of Police

A Columbus man arrested with two bodies inside his van last November has pled guilty to murder charges as part of a plea deal.  

John Jordan Junior was sentenced to 30 years in prison after prosecutors agreed to drop two other counts of murder, as well as abuse of a corpse and  tampering with evidence charges. The van and bodies of Ryan Fuller and Mikayla Sotherland were found on South Harris Avenue. A motive in the case is not clear.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
