Body found in lake is missing Conyers woman, Shawntell Ranae Barnes
Henry County authorities stated that the dead body found in a lake was a 27-year-old Conyers woman, Shawntell Ranae Barnes, reported missing last week.
An autopsy completed Thursday determined that the woman, Shawntell Ranae Barnes, was stabbed to death, said Henry County police Lt. Jason Bolton. Barnes was discovered Wednesday by a jogger running past the lake, located near Metro Heights Baptist Church on Ga. 138, near Stockbridge.
Bolton said investigators want to talk to her husband, Dantel, who is described as a “person of interest” in the case. Dantel Barnes did not appear to take a lie detector test scheduled Monday by Rockdale sheriff’s investigators, Bolton said. Rockdale investigators have said there was a “history of domestic problems in the home.”
Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Henry County police at 770-957-9121.
