PORTLAND -- An Oregon man has been charged with killing his mother-in-law's
19-year-old husband and 70-year-old ex-husband during a family trip to the
coast, The Associated Press reported Tuesday.
Timothy Henson then kidnapped his wife and mother-and-law before officers
discovered them off a spur road a few miles from the scene of the double
homicide, said R. Paul Frasier, the Coos County district attorney, told the
AP.
Henson, 43, was arraigned Tuesday afternoon on charges of aggravated murder,
assault and kidnapping, the AP said. A judge set bail at $6 million and
provided him with a court-appointed attorney.
The news agency reported the violence erupted Sunday evening in a Chevy
Blazer. After the relatives spent a day visiting beaches, a dispute arose as
the vehicle traveled on Highway 101 south of Bandon.

Henson allegedly fired one to three shots inside the vehicle, with a bullet
hitting his wife, Vallena Tuell, 30, in the forearm. The car came to a stop
and Henson shot George Micheaux III, 19, and Milton Chester Leach, 70,
outside the vehicle, Frasier told the AP.
George Micheaux died at the scene. Leach was removed from life support
Monday at a Portland hospital.
The district attorney said he would present the case to a grand jury later
this week. In the meantime, he declined to say what type of gun was used or
what the dispute was about.
The family lived together in Myrtle Creek, near Interstate 5 about 90 miles
east of the crime scene. Henson and his wife lived in the house, the
Micheauxs have a trailer on the property and Leach, the ex-husband of Ruth
Sherrie Micheaux, stayed in the garage.
Frasier told the AP that Leach had terminal lung cancer, and the weekend
getaway was a chance for him to enjoy the coast for perhaps a final time.
Tuell was treated at a local hospital for her forearm injury and released.

It's unclear when Leach and Ruth Micheaux, 47, got divorced. Micheaux and
her teenage husband were married in New Mexico in November 2009.
