Search for Double Murder Suspect Deputy Derrick Yancey Continues

Acting on a tip, authorities searched three Greyhound buses in Dalton early Sunday morning for former DeKalb County deputy and double murder suspect Derrick Yancey but came up empty-handed.

The DeKalb Sheriff’s Department was called about 12:45 a.m. by someone who said they thought they saw Yancey standing in line to board a bus at the Greyhound bus station in downtown Atlanta, said Mikki Jones, spokeswoman for the DeKalb Sheriff’s Department.

DeKalb County news Authorities learned that three buses left the station at about that time headed for Dalton, with final destinations of Chicago and Cleveland, Ohio, Jones said. The buses were checked at a Pilot Travel Center by local authorities in Dalton, she said. Yancey was not found.

Yancey, 49, is accused of killing his 44-year-old wife, Linda Yancey, and a 20-year-old day laborer, Marcial Cax Puluc, last summer.

Officials said Yancey disappeared from his mother’s home last week after cutting off his electronic ankle bracelet. A judge had released Yancey on $150,000 bond under the condition that he wear the tracking device and remain under house arrest.

The Fugitive Squad can be reached at 404-298-8200.
