A father is being held after the bodies of his five children - aged between one and eight - were found hundreds of miles away from his home.
Timothy Ray Jones Jr is suspected of killing the youngsters and dumping their bodies in rural Alabama.
The bodies had been buried in individual garbage bags and left in an isolated spot about 10 miles east of Camden, Wilcox County, according to CBS.
Wilcox County Sheriff Michael Jackson said: "This is a very tragic situation. These kids' lives were snuffed out before they had a chance to enjoy life. Justice will be served."
Jones, 32, was stopped for driving while under the influence in Raleigh, Mississippi, on Saturday.

Smith County Sheriff Charlie Crumpton told WLTX that a chemical smell could be detected coming from Mr Jones' Cadillac Escalade when he was detained at a driver's licence checkpoint.
Officers found what they believed were ingredients used to make the drugs crystal meth and a synthetic form of marijuana.
Deputies also found what appeared to be bleach, muriatic acid, blood, and other bodily fluids in the car, Sheriff Crumpton said.
A search for Jones' name on police databases led Smith County officers to discover that he was connected to a missing persons report.
Lexington County Sheriff Lewis McCarty said the children's mother had reported Jones and the five children missing just after 6pm on Wednesday, September 3.
