Authorities who respond to a report of a home invasion at a gated resort community in the north Georgia mountains now say they believe it was the scene of a murder. They have arrested a former Stamford man and said they don't believe home invaders were involved.
Gilmer County sheriff's Lt. Frank Copeland said Donald Bossa, 76, who had been living at the home with his wife for six years has been taken into custody and charged with murder after his 67-year-old wife, Barbara, was found dead.
Copeland said Bossa confessed to killing his wife.
Bossa had initially called authorities early Wednesday to report that his home at the Coosawattee River Resort, about 75 miles north of Atlanta, had been invaded, the Associated Press reported.
He is being held at the Gilmer County Adult Detention Center. Copeland said the case is under investigation but the motive appears to be a domestic violence situation that got out of control.
Copeland was not sure when Bossa last lived in Stamford. He had a residence in Florida before moving to Georgia.
