GLYNN COUNTY, GA -- Guy Heinze, Jr. hoped he would be out of the Glynn County Detention Center and staying at his Grandmother's home by now, but a new problem has caused a new delay.

Heinze's attorney, Ron Harrison, says an ankle monitor is not available for the 22-year-old.

On Wednesday, a Judge ordered Heinze to wear an ankle monitor and stay on house arrest if he posts bond. Harrison says his client in "frustrated and anxious" over the issue.

Meanwhile, the City of Brunswick is stepping up to help find those responsible for killing Heinze's relatives at New Hope Plantation.

"We are one community and when push comes to shove, we will step up and stand shoulder to shoulder. This is not an incident that just affects New Hope. This is something that had a strong impact on the entire community," says Brunswick Mayor, Bryan Thompson.

The City is donating $15,000 in cash to catch the killer or killers. That brings the total reward to $50,000.

"We wait on word from Matt (Chief Doering). Matt's being tight lipped, which he should be," says Thompson.

Everyone, including City officials, is waiting on Chief Matt Doering to release new details on the murders and the investigation.

Numerous phone calls have been made to the Glynn County Police Department in search of an update. Police are still refusing to make any more comments.

"I know we have residents who are frightened. I'm sure if the Chief felt more of a need for information, that would be coming out," says Thompson.

Heinze could be stuck in jail for another couple of days. His attorney says if he is not out by Saturday, for his family's funerals, he will ask the Court to allow him to be at the memorials.
