CLEVELAND, Ga. (AP) - A man and a woman have been arrested in
connection with the killing of a church youth minister.

Cleveland police chief John Foster identified the suspects as
21-year-old William Joseph Dyer and 29-year-old Jennifer Dawn
Lineberger. Both are charged with felony murder, and Dyer is also
charged with armed robbery.

The body of the Rev. Edward Frank Harris Jr. of Clermont was
found shortly before 4 a.m. Monday in the yard of a home in
Cleveland. The 44-year-old Harris called his family Sunday
afternoon after church to say that he was giving two stranded
people a ride to Cleveland before he returned home.

An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday at the GBI crime lab in
Decatur for an autopsy.
