ATLANTA - A former Georgia Congressional candidate has been charged with murder after her former campaign treasurer was found dead inside her apartment.

Kellie Collins, of Thomason, turned herself into the McDuffie County Sheriff’s Office just as authorities in Aiken County, South Carolina found the body of Curtis Cain, Collins’ former campaign treasurer.

Investigators said Cain did not show up for work on Tuesday, so deputies went to his home to check on him. That’s when they found him dead from an apparent gunshot wound.

The coroner said the body had been there for at least four days.

Authorities said Cain’s Subaru Legacy was also missing.

Collins has been charged with grand larceny in addition to murder.

In 2017, Collins ran as a Democrat against incumbent Rep. Jody Hice, a Republican, for Georgia’s 10th District. She ultimately dropped out of the race, citing personal reasons.

During the race, she touted her support for responsible gun regulation to protect the community.

My mother had a 2005 Cooper S hatchback and it was a reliable mix of fun and practicality, but once things started going on it, it was nickle-and-diming her to death... even the small stuff. She wanted to get a new one, but the was surreptitiously told by one of the techs that a new one (this was in 2015 or early 2016) would probably not be as trouble-free as the old one. Why he told her that, I have no idea.

She still pines for "my little clown car."

“I have never seen a conservative view or politician hosted on the back of a Subaru.”

Mrs. VanShuyten didn’t want me to put a Virginia Citizens Defense League sticker on ours because she didn’t want it to get vandalized.

Some of the most conservative people I know own Subarus.

So do some of the most liberal people I know.

Subarus are good in the snow, we have lots of snow,

I just came from Rally Fest at Tim Oneil's rally school in Dalton, NH.

There are a lot of caged Subarus and Focuses being used to give folks a ride in rally cars.

Travis Pastrana beat his own record in a 650HP Subaru to the top of Mount Washington recently.

The winning cars at the New England Forest Rally are usually Subarus.

I doubt I'll ever own one, I prefer our Unimogs, Excursion and Focus.

Much better article in The Augusta Chronicle. Seems she was living with him, and, when he didn't show up for work, his employer requested a well-being check by the police. Also, two or three weeks ago, Cain had changed his insurance beneficiary to Collins.

citing personal reasons.

I guess Death Row is pretty personal.
