Aug. 31, 2009— -- Police on Monday released a tape of frantic callers telling a 911 dispatcher an entire family was beaten to death in a south Georgia mobile home.

"My whole family is dead," a man identified as Guy Heinze Jr., 22, moans into the phone. Barely coherent, he said he had arrived at the mobile home Saturday morning to find family members dead and bleeding. He adds, "my whole family is dead ... it looks like they've been beaten to death, but I don't know, man."

The chilling 911 tape cast some light on the murky details of Saturday's mass killing at the sleepy New Hope Plantation mobile home park.

Glynn County police and Georgia Bureau of Investigation officials have withheld the cause of death, any possible motive, and all but one of the names of those murdered.

Glynn County Police Chief Matt Doering said this afternoon that another body had been identified, but declined to name the victim. He added that the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service have joined what has become "a very large-scale search operation occurring as I speak to you."

Doering added that police are hunting at least one suspect, but answered most reporters' questions with a terse "I can't answer that," or "no comment."

Police first learned of the massacre when neighbor Margaret Orlinski made a 911 call Saturday morning, saying Heinze, who was "freaking out," apparently arrived home to that gruesome tableau. "He says everybody is dead."

In the recording, Orlinski coaxes Heinze to the phone. Whimpering, he relays that "my whole family is dead," and rushes back into the trailer.

Later he yells back that the ambulance "better hurry," because his cousin, Michael Toler, a 19 year-old man with Down syndrome, was alive, but "that his face is smashed in."

Neighbors, including the mobile home park's maintenance man, are overheard responding to the commotion.

After taking the phone from Heinze, neighbor Orlinski tells the dispatcher: "I know there's a little baby. ... Shoot, there's a little baby. I don't know if the baby was in there or not."

Doering has yet to divulge the ages of the victims, aside from Toler's, but confirmed "there were no infants among them," and has said they range from teenagers to people in their 40s.

The 911 dispatcher admonishes Heinze not to touch anything. Moments later Orlinski is overheard calling Heinze not to touch anything "doorknobs or anything other that what you already touched… he says they were beat to death."
