Tennessee Detainee To Be Questioned By Henry County Sheriff
KENTUCKY...
A Tennessee sheriff says a person who turned himself in at a police department in the southern part of the state will be interviewed about the deaths of two people on Friday.
Henry County, Kentucky Sheriff Monte Belew said investigators were on their way to Jasper, Tenn., to talk with the person. But, Belew would not say if the man, who was at the Jasper City Police Department, was a suspect sought in the slayings.
Two people, 76-year-old Barbara Jean Walker and 80-year-old Guy Kenneth Walker, were found dead in their home in Buchanan, Tenn., just outside of Paris, Tenn., on Friday. Belew previously said he thought the suspect had left the area and possibly the state.
Belew told The Paris Post-Intelligencer that as far as he knew, the suspect had no more contact with Henry County residents after the shooting Friday morning. Two helicopters and several checkpoints didn't turn up any evidence of the man during a manhunt just after the crime was discovered.
If the man is charged, Belew said, he'll be extradited back to Henry County.
