On Tuesday, Truitt told us some of the stolen items were placed in front of his mailbox outside his home. They were found in a garbage bag over a tarp, along with some cash and an apology letter.
"So sorry hope this helps," the note said. "I know I can't make it right, but I want to try."
The family did not open the bag, but called investigators, who seized the evidence for fingerprints.
On Monday, the Paulding County Sheriff's Office was working to identify a suspect and on Wednesday they announced the arrests of Jeremiah Walker and Norman Miller. Both have been charged with theft by taking.
