VICKSBURG, Miss. -- Authorities are piecing together information surrounding James Taylor's abduction and murder of his estranged wife, Daisy, and his girlfriend, Julian Jones.
The incident ended Tuesday when Taylor shot and killed himself.
All three worked at Ameristar Casino, though the crimes did not occur at the casino, authorities said.
James Taylor had been suspended from his position at Ameristar on Friday. The casino released a statement saying it was "because of job performance issues." He had been the transportation manager since March 1994.
Daisy Taylor had worked as a telephone operator at Ameristar since June 1997, and Jones was a driver for the company since July 1999.
