Investigators say Byrd Billings was tied up with zip ties. Documents released last week say both Byrd and Melanie were shot in the head. The surveillance video also apparently shows Byrd being shot in the leg.

The Billings' daughter, Ashley Markham, says hearing those details and seeing the actual images are two different things. That's why she filed a motion for the images not to be reproduced.

The court agreed.

"I believe it's a fair compromise. I believe it's in the best interests of our privacy and also the media's interest for public knowledge," said Markham.

Markham added she did it for the children.

Ever since the murders, court records say Markham has been trying to get full custody of the children.

"The kids are doing well. They are doing well. They are doing the best they can," said Markham.

The 911 call placed by the neighbor on July 9 was recorded at the time. Authorities say that recording will also be released Thursday.

New information has also been released on the suspects in this case. Authorities say Leonard Gonzalez, Jr., the alleged mastermind behind the crime, lured Wayne Coldiron, Donnie Stallworth, Gary Sumner, Frederick Thornton, and 16-year-old Rakeem Florence into the crime with the promise of money.

Authorities added Gonzalez, Jr. persuaded his father, Leonard Gonzalez, Sr., to participate by telling him the Billings children were being sexually abused.

The six men in this case are facing the death penalty if convicted, while Florence may face life in prison.

Pamela Long Wiggins is charged with being an accessory after the fact, first degree. Her husband, Hugh Wiggins, has been a person of interest in the case since day one.

Henry "Cab" Tice is also a person of interest. Tice was previously in business with Byrd Bilings, and allegedly stole thousands of dollars from Billings. Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan said Tice has admitted to being "into the Mexican Mafia." The sheriff believes the Billings were not involved in the Mexican Mafia.
