Relief, disappointment and some pent up frustration.
Just a few of the emotions from family involved in this case and from other cases where Macon is the suspected killer.
Family members have created their own support group of sorts and they talked about it today.

"Our family and my brothers want him charged with my mother's death," said Carol Wood, whose mother Ruth Hallman was murdered last July. "Just as Amy has been waiting and wants him charged with her mother's death as well."
"We're gonna stay together and go through this next process together," said Amy Bacik. Her mother, Barbara Jean Tuttle was murdered in 2004.
"We're all supportive of each other we'll be there until the end," said Douglas Redmon, the brother of Karen Delgado-Yates.
Bacik finished his sentence, "We're bonded."
The Macon family had a different, more somber reaction.
"We will be with Matthew through this process," said Clifton Jackson, a family spokesman. "Prayfully and hopefully the courtroom will come together."
Redmon released some frustration.
"It was all worth it. The pictures, seeing his family everyday, smiling and laughing. Now it's all worth it."

As to that "next process," Carol Wood seemed happy with the progress of her mother's case in which Macon is a suspect.
He's also suspected of four other murders-- including Amy Bacik's mother Barbara Jean Tuttle in 2004.
The Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings, III isn't saying much about those cases, but he did tell wilx.com he's called for a meeting of the homicide task force.
So it appears the wheels of justice will continue to turn on Matthew Macon.
