They were his kids.
As expected by authorities, autopsies have confirmed the identities of two children found buried in their family’s backyard in Effingham County, though many questions remain about the deaths, coroner David Exley said Monday.
“The cause and manner of death is still pending,” he said, adding it could take weeks.
The trouble, he said, is partly that Mary Crocker and Elwyn Crocker Jr. had been buried so long ago — Mary for perhaps a few months, Elwyn for maybe as long as two years. The remains of the siblings, who were both 14 years old when they were last seen but hadn’t been reported missing, were discovered Thursday in the rural town of Guyton by the Effingham Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies went to the house after a tipster called 911 to express concern regarding the whereabouts of the girl. An interview with the father, Elwyn Crocker Sr., revealed information that sent deputies to check the backyard for the bodies.
The father, who turns 50 on Christmas and until recently played Santa at a nearby Walmart in Rincon, has been charged with child cruelty and concealing a death. The same charges have also been filed against his wife, Candice Crocker, 33, her mother, Kim Wright, 50, and Wright’s boyfriend, Roy Anthony Prater, 55. All lived in the home and could face additional charges, authorities have said. They remain in the county jail without bond.
ht/ fdr in hell
Good Lord….. I am a bit surprised that Candice isn’t guilty of eating her young. These people need to go directly to hell, do not pass go, do not collect $200…….

Most who read this are thinking “I’d expect this of a raghead … but NOT by a Walmart Santa!”
izlamo delenda est …
That’s one mean looking Bad Santa. Can you imagine some poor kid sitting on that Santa’s lap? Good grief Walmart’s standards for Santa’s must be extremely low to hire an ugly mug like that. I bet this Santa’s nickname was Killer.
Hm, he lives with his wife, his ex, and her BF. Commune from hell. I bet the holidays are a real whiz-bang at that house.
May justice prevail.
And his mother in law, it’s a redneck paradise. Yee haw, bet that Santa shoots kids eyes out with a BB gun even before they get one before Christmas. Oh and of course pit bulls. Why does this guy remind me of the Misfit in Flannery O’Conner’s short story A Good Man Is Hard To Find.
Satan’s got the Welcome Wagon ready to roll when these Dogpatch lowlifes arrive down here. 👿
Walmart has a Santa? I’m mean that’s more surprising than finding out there are lunatics around.

I could personally kill sonsabitches like them and laugh about it.
Effingham County. Gee, what’s that short for?
