FAYETTEVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Lincoln County Sheriff's Department is searching for a person of interest in the slaying of 2 women and a child whose bodies were found Monday inside a Middle Tennessee home about a mile from the Alabama border.

WAFF-TV reports (http://bit.ly/OWNvBX) 24-year-old Warren Vincent Crutcher is considered to be armed and dangerous.
