The suspect was convicted of murdering Deputy Sears and sentenced to life in prison.

Deputy Sears had served with the Bacon County Sheriff's Office for one year. He was survived by his wife, daughter, parents, and four sisters.

I don't know you but I appreciate your service. This might seem far fetched but I was watch one of the crime shows like and behold they showed a picture of Clyde Sears sheriffs department. I was stunned. I married Clyde Dwayne Sears from Georgia back in 1980. His parents were Clyde Sears and Bernice (Strickland) Sears We have a son Dwayne Russell Sears. Coincidence or FAMILY. God bless you Deputy Sears.
