According to Snoddy, the brothers and Lewis traveled to Winston County on Nov. 5, and went to Grace's residence, where investigators believed that Thomas and Tannehill consumed drugs. From there, they left to another residence, and investigators believed Tannehill and Thomas consumed drugs there as well.
They moved from the second residence and went back to Grace's, and investigators believe both Tannehill and Thomas died later that morning in Thomas' car in Grace's yard. Pending toxicology reports, the brothers are believed to have died of a suspected overdose.
Investigators believe Grace drove Thomas and Tannehill's bodies to a remote area. Grace said in a statement to authorities he "parked the car in a location where he hoped that they would be found," Snoddy wrote on Facebook.
