HIAWASSEE - Additional charges have been filed against two women in connection with the death of a woman found in an abandoned well in Towns County last week.
According to Towns County Sheriff's officials, both 32-year-old Rebecca Ann Stokes and 21-year-old Brittany Elizabeth Ledford face the same list of charges: malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, removal of a body from a death scene and tampering with evidence. In addition, Stokes has been charged with making terroristic threats.
