Alleged Murderer Returned To Hardin County
KENTUCKY....
Authorities say 35 year old Erik Buggeland was being returned from Tennessee Monday night to the Hardin County Jail to face murder charges after being accused of killing his retired parents. Retired gynecologists Terje and Margaret Buggeland were found dead in their Elizabethtown home on September 21st. Erik Buggeland, a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic, was found driving his mother's car in southwestern Tennessee eight days after the killings. Buggeland, who is charged with two counts of murder, refused to waive his extradition rights and had been held in the McNairy County, Tennessee, jail. Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen signed an extradition order last week.
