CHELLIE MILLS REPORTING

WELEETKA -- The double murder investigation in Weleetka this summer has taken a quick turn. A published report says three men testified Wednesday before a grand jury.

There have been few leads in the last two-and-a-half months on this investigation. The girls, 11-year-old Skyla Whitaker and 13-year-old Taylor Paschal-Placker were gunned down June 8th, 2008.

Their bodies were found near Weleetka on a dirt road in Okfuskee County. The girls had been shot numerous times; from two different guns.

The Oklahoman reports a grand jury heard the testimony of three men suspected, but not charged in the shootings.

One of those men is 19-year-old Mike Gaddy who lives near the girls. His parents tell the Oklahoman he was home at the time along with another suspect, 18-year-old Dustyn Dailey.

Dailey is currently being held at Okmulgee County jail for a burglary charge.
And Toney Kelough, who lives several miles from the crime scene, also testified.

These men have not been charged with anything.
They have only testified before a grand jury.

Two others did not show up to speak.
The judge has ordered them to be arrested.

The grand jury sessions are closed to the public.

Mike Gaddy was indentified early on as a neighborhood bully, and was mad at the girls for having told on him at one time.
