Police said the initial call to social services was to check on Billy Haynes. The body found at the scene was identified as Billy, and an autopsy determined he was killed by stab wounds, and the case became a homicide investigation, according to Columbus police.

After an extensive investigation, police said probable cause was determined and that there was an arrest warrant for murder for his 31-year-old son, Samuel.

On Wednesday, police said Haynes had been arrested and was awaiting extradition to Columbus.
