Rural residents left with aftermath of criminal intrusion
The sense of security and safety felt by many rural residents of Leon County was shattered last month after the escape of and subsequent search for convicted murderer Gonzalo Lopez in the Centerville area. When five bodies were discovered – suspected to have been slain by Lopez – Thursday, June 2, in their weekend house less than a mile from Centerville off State Highway 7, the desecration of serenity was complete.
