Police arrest grandson in double murder.

Update: The accused killer's mother is a candidate for Justice Court Judge in Jackson County. More information at bottom of post.
 
Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement:

Arrest Made in Rankin County Double Murder

Stanford
On Tuesday June 23, 2015 at approximately 5:00 p.m. the Rankin County Sheriff's Office received a report of a deceased husband and wife at 1621 Highway 469 North, Pearl, MS. The sheriff and deputies responded to the scene and met with a family friend who stated that he had stopped by the house to check on the couple and when they didn't come to the door he walked around the back of the house and saw the wife's body lying on the floor covered in blood, the complainant immediately contacted a family member who unlocked the residence where the body of the husband was discovered in a bedroom.

Based on the injuries to the victims it was obvious that both had been murdered. The scene was secured and additional Rankin County Investigators and the MS Bureau of Investigations responded to the scene and began to process it.

During the investigation the grandson of the victims was identified as the suspect. The grandson is identified as Zachary Alexander STANFORD 22 year old male from 1508 South 7th Street Ocean Springs. STANFORD was stopped by the Magee Police Department for careless driving and during the stop officers noticed that he had blood on his clothes and in his vehicle. The Magee Police Department contacted the Rankin County Sheriff's Office and relayed this information. Rankin Deputies responded and transported STANFORD to the Rankin County Jail.

The victims in this case are identified as Robert FARIES 79 year old male and Peggy FARIES 77 year old female both of 1621 469 North Pearl, MS.

The initial appearance for the suspect is tentatively set for Thursday morning before Rankin County Court Judge Kent McDaniel on two charges of murder.

This investigation continues.

Sheriff Bryan Bailey gratefully thanks the District Attorney Michael Guest and his office, the MS Bureau of Investigations, the men and women of the Rankin County Sheriff's Office and Magee Police Department for their invaluable assistance in this case.

His skin and fallen face say "meth", to me. Meth addicts frequently look as if their skin had just melted.

Is this the case? Anyone know his life story?

Sorry for the lost of two elderly people.

How many descriptions of thugs used in cases like these? This is not random thug violence. This is a family tragedy. Blacks have those as well and not described as thugs on this site.
I don't recall seeing any described like that on this site.
Blame this on the confederate flag why dontcha?

what a horrible double tragedy for that family, I feel for the mother who has lost those on both sides of her generation

Forget the case (as you quoted) this person killed two people (repeat--two elderly people are dead). His grandparents!!! It sickens me that these people are gone. But, You want to psychoanalyze this (nothing) by questioning his past and possible drugs. I believe in conservative principles and ideals, but what I see is a double standard (in your thinking) I must address it. Go ahead, if he were black you would be catering food for a public hanging followed by burning the corpse at public viewing. While all along feeling that justice was served.

I went to high school with the guy. He was always kind of weird but who would have expected something like this? I feel bad for his family as this is a monumental tragedy.

According to the CL, they say he drove from the coast to Rankin county specifically to commit the crime and will be charged with 1st degree murder. If that's the case, if/once convicted, his punishment should be carried out swiftly.

He pled not guilty an hour ago.

he will wind up charged with two counts of capital murder.

What ever happened in this case, I have not seen anything in the paper.

Indicted in November. Awaiting trial. Two counts of capital murder.

He obviously had deep issues. His momma spends more time at a local bar named Leo's than with her kids. Maybe, he was looking for revenge because of a lot issues.

Zach is my son and I love him although he committed these heinous murders. He was a good kid but apparently has a mental illness. No one blames themselves more than I do for what happened. If I could have stopped it or knew he was suffering I would have done something. He loved his grandparents very much.

I don't have to explain my situation for anyone but anyone that knows me, knows my children are my life.

The last comment left by "anonymous" was left by a spiteful, nasty person that wants to bash me. If AV (yes, I know who you are) wanted to be a real woman she could say anything to my face. My law office is in Ocean Springs.

This is a very sad tragic thing that has happened in my and my children's lives. We have lost 3 people we loved the most. Before making spiteful anonymous remarks, remember it could happen to anyone.

If anyone has anything else to say on this subject (especially AV) please feel free to contact me directly.

Has he ever gone to trial or copped a plea or been sentenced??
What has happened to Mr Stanford

Anonymous said...

So basically the Rankin County taxpayers have been feeding and taking
care of Mr Stanford for 3 years?????

When is he ever going to trial????? He robbed and murdered two
people and still awaiting trial.

This is ridiculous.

Kingfish said...

Sept 10 is trial date.

He LOVED his grandparents SOOOO MUCH that he KILLED THEM ...!!! The mother said he loved his grandparents very much ...! This should show everyone how delusional she is and what a fine mother she must of been ...!!!

Anonymous said...

I am completely appalled by the insensitive and downright rude comments posted here. This is a horrific family tragedy and bashing Stanfords mother is ridiculous and juvenile. She lost her parents and her son in the blink of an eye. Whatever possessed this young man to commit such an atrocious act, whether it was drugs, mental instability or unknown rage does not negate the fact that he could've 'loved them very much" as his grandparents until the moment that obviously something "snapped". He is and will pay the price for this crime and yes, it is a tragic loss of two well loved individuals that died at the hands of their own grandchild, noone is disputing that fact, but how can you jump to a conclusion that his mom being in a bar is to blame? And do you know she's there because you're there too? It seems obvious that several of these posts are from the same individual and only being posted to hurt the mother and not to comment on the crime itself, shame on you, do you truly even care about the victims or only on a mission to further hurt someone who must be hurting beyond comprehension every second of every day? This is ABOUT the victims, the Faries, and also everyone who loved this lovely couple and will grieve the loss of them forever.

Only thing left to do is kill this piece of shit so he can’t kill anyone else ...!!! To kill your OWN GRAND PARENTS takes a special kind of evil...

I typically call BS on the constant playing of the race card, but compare this to the idiotic, aspiring rapper who recently offed his grandmother, mother and sister. Personally, I hope they both rot in hell and I resent my tax dollars paying for either one.

Murder. LiFE ON BOTH CHARGES. CONCURRENT.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
