They also recovered a knife and a length of pipe believed used in the killings. Valentine said Coleman struck while the couple was at home, apparently hoping the Teetsons would tell him where they kept other valuables and money. Coleman is being held without bond. The case is to be presented to a Webster Parish grand jury, which will decide whether to indict. The Teetsons' bodies were found outside their home near Heflin, Louisiana, February 23.
Authorities believe the couple died two days earlier.
Valentine said the Teetsons' fellow ham radio operators helped authorities by offering what they knew about the Teetsons' activities. He said Coleman's arrest was a relief for both the community and authorities. Floyd served as ARRL Delta Division director in 1962 and '63. He was an Honor Roll DXer and active contester and had been a member of several multi-op contest teams operating from various Caribbean DX sites. The Teetsons were active ARRL members.
