A press release on Tuesday by Wayne County Sheriff's Department notes, "the suspect was taken into custody and charged with three counts felony murder in the first degree, three counts of felony armed criminal action, felony child kidnapping and felony tampering in the first degree."
Atchison has allegedly confessed to the murders. However, no possible motive has been reported yet.
