In February of 1992 a woman went into the Knoxville Police station, claiming she had been raped, tied up and robbed. The woman was a sex worker, and she said the night before she had met a john, and he took her into his Buick Le Sabre to a secluded area of Cahaba Lane which runs parrel with I-40. The secluded area was used by sex workers and johns. There was trash everywhere, old mattresses and used condoms all over the ground. The police officer asked the woman to take him there and when they arrived the blue Buick was sitting there. She said, “that’s him, that’s his car.” Looking into the car she even saw some of her belongings. The officer walked back into the woods and found a young girl, naked on her knees with Thomas Huskey. Thomas was taken into custody but was later released because the girl involved was of legal age and didn’t want to press charges. 

The summer and early fall of 1992 Thomas “Zoo Man” Huskey killed four women. Thomas is responsible for the deaths of Patricia Rose Anderson, Patricia Johnson, Darlene Smith and Susan Stone. All four women were known as sex workers. Some women feared Huskey because he could be mean. Some stayed away from him for that reason; others went with him because they needed the money. It was a hazard of the profession. He got away with his abusive treatment for a while. A hunter found the first body off Cahaba Lane on Oct. 20, 1992. The victim's name was Patricia Rose Anderson. She'd been strangled, bound and left under an old mattress. She was pregnant. In the coming days, Knox County investigators discovered the remains of another woman, and then another in the nearby brush. The bones of a fourth woman also were found. All told there were four women, several of whom had records for prostitution. There were no witnesses to the killings. But Pressley, the KPD detective, remembered that day months back when he'd caught Huskey in the act on Cahaba. He alerted the Sheriff's Office. 

Thomas tried to plead not guilty by reason of insanity, saying he had multiple personalities. In an interview with police, officer Davenport stepped out and when he returned Thomas had turned into “Kyle” the dark personality. Kyle was demanding and mean. Kyle said, “Give me a cigarette and I’ll tell you everything.” Kyle admitted to all four kidnappings, rapes and strangulations of Patricia, Patricia, Darlene and Susan. Officer Davenport claimed, “It was all an act.” Other personalities would emerge: an Englishman who called himself Daxx and an effeminate character named Timothy. For the men who would defend Huskey in court, it was a crucial development -- evidence that somebody with multiple personalities might have committed a series of horrible crimes. If he were mentally ill, he could avoid conviction. If you live in or around Knoxville, many streets are named Kyle. His favorite soap opera character’s name was Daxx.  

The trial would be the most expensive trial in history at the time. Jurors agreed he probably killed those women, but they couldn’t agree on his mental state. By day five of deliberation, they were deadlocked. It ended in a mistrial. By 2005 Thomas had two of the best attorneys in the state, it would equate to the prosecutors OJ Simpson had. The lawyers were doing it for free! They said the murder charges had no evidence behind them and the confession was coerced. Thomas was never charged with the murders of the women. He was charged with the kidnappings and rapes. Thomas Huskey sits in the South-Central Correctional Facility in Clifton, Tennessee. He received a 64-year sentence. He will not be eligible for parole until 2056 when he will be 117 years old.

Stanley Eric Goodman was born on July 6, 1963 to Willard and Essie Goodman in Scott County, Tennessee. He was married at a young age to Sherry Goodman and was a father of 3. When Stanley and Sherry split, Sherry moved to Cleveland and the 2 children spent time with both their mother and father. 
Terri Sue Lawson Goodman was born February 10, 1963 to Clifford and Mary and was described as a sweet and sensible person who had overcome a tragedy in her 20’s. Terri Sue was almost killed in a car crash in 1985, which had her hospitalized for months and years of therapy to learn how to walk and talk again. She was never able to work after the accident but she eventually met Stanley. And they married.
In February of 2000 DCS was called to the Black Fox Elementary School where 8 year old BG had confided in her teacher about the sexual abuse she was receiving at the hands of her step father Hubert. Hope Tharp, the Child Protective Services team leader in Cleveland, Tennessee, responded to a courtesy request from the Scott County Department of Children's Services to investigate allegations of sexual abuse of B.G. by her stepfather. Ms. Tharp interviewed B.G. and B.G.'s mother. As a result of the reports and the investigation, the decision was made to remove B.G. and two other children from the Sexton home.  Hubert explained that B.G. was getting this information from her sister and her father saying, Mr. Goodman had told BG to say those things so he could get full custody of the children. 
On May 16, 2000, Bradley County Sheriff's Detective Tony Alvarez had responded to a complaint initiated by a teacher at the Black Fox Elementary School. Along with DCS, Detective Alvarez spoke with B.G. regarding the allegation. He later spoke with Hubert regarding the allegation and advised him of his Miranda rights. Hubert Sexton waived those rights and signed a written waiver.  Mr. Goodman was not too happy about that arrangement and he was just getting the children to trump up some false allegations of improper sexual conduct.
On May 20, 2000, Hubert and Preston went to work around 8:00 a.m. They left work around 12:30 p.m. Hubert drove Mr. Adams to the Budget Inn, where Mr. Adams was living at the time. Around 6:00 p.m. Hubert went to Maxi Muffler to visit with Clinton Daniel Mason, a mechanic at the Cleveland store. He asked Mr. Mason for his gun, a .22 rifle. Hubert. When they arrived at The Muffler Shop, Hubert  informed Mr. Mason that he had to "take care of some business in Scott County." E.G. accompanied the Strunk family to the races. Due to rain, the races were cancelled and the family returned home around 8:30 p.m. The Strunks took E.G. to her home around 11:00 p.m. Vella Strunk observed that no lights were on in the house. Vella Strunk remained in her car while E.G. went inside the house to get her some coffee. After E.G. returned with her coffee, Vella Strunk went home. EG then went back inside, went to her room and fell asleep for the night. The next morning, Vella Strunk telephoned her brother, Stanley Goodman. There was no answer at the Goodman residence. Within ten minutes, E.G. telephoned Vella Strunk, crying. E.G. told Vella that her father and stepmother were still in bed and that they had blood on them. Vella Strunk drove to her brother's home where she discovered the bodies of Stanley and Terry Goodman. She then called the police.
The jury found, as to each count of first degree murder, that the proof established the aggravating circumstance that the murder was committed for the purpose of avoiding, interfering with, or preventing a lawful arrest or prosecution of the defendant or another. The jury determined that the statutory aggravating circumstance outweighed any mitigating circumstances and, therefore, imposed sentences of death for the murders of Stanley and Terry Sue.

Pauline was a married mother of 3, her husband, Bufford was a police officer in McNairy County Tennessee near the Tennessee Kentucky line along I40., eventually becoming sheriff. Pauline was married before, having a son named Michael and a daughter Dian Vance. After growing up in Virginia and living in Chicago, Pauline met Bufford at a wrestling match. Bufford started off in wrestling. Buford Pusser was born in Finger, McNairy County, Tennessee, on December 12, 1937, his father was the police chief of Adamsville, Tennessee. Buford Pusser was a high-school football and basketball player and was 6 feet 6 inches tall. He joined the United States Marine Corps when he graduated from high school. His service ended and he was given a medical discharge for asthma.

In 1957, he moved to Chicago, where he was a local wrestler known as "Buford The Bull". He married Pauline Mullins on December 5, 1959. Pusser returned home in 1962. He was Adamsville's police chief and constable from 1962 to 1964. After the sheriff James Dickey was killed in an auto accident, Pusser was elected sheriff, becoming the youngest sheriff in Tennessee's history. Pusser promptly began trying to eliminate crime and mob/mafia groups like the Dixie Mafia and the State Line Mob.

Pusser was ineligible for re-election in 1970 due to the term limit then in effect. He was defeated in his bid for sheriff in 1972. Pusser blamed the loss to incumbent Sheriff Clifford Coleman in part on the controversy surrounding the making of the semibiographical movie Walking Tall. “Walking Tall” was a movie based on Bufford in the 1970’s then a remake happened in 2004 featuring Dwayne the rock Johnson and Johnny Knoxville. 

The early morning of Aug. 12, 1967, the couple was heading to a disturbance call near the Tennessee-Mississippi line when a vehicle pulled up alongside theirs and began firing into the car with a military rifle, according to The Historical Marker Database and McNairy County Historical Society. According to Pusser, his phone rang before dawn on the morning of August 12, 1967, informing him of a disturbance on New Hope Road in McNairy County; Pusser responded and his wife Pauline rode along. Ride along were allowed then, but usually happened in daylight hours on a slow Sunday. Some believe he got a call around 2 am and where the shooting happened was only 20 minutes away from his house and the call came in of the shooting around 4 am. Shortly after they passed the New Hope Methodist Church, a fast-moving car came alongside theirs and the occupants opened fire, killing Pauline and leaving Pusser for dead. Doctors said he was struck on the left side of his jaw by at least two, or possibly three, rounds from a .30-caliber carbine. He spent 18 days in the hospital before returning home, and needed several more surgeries. 

Pusser died on August 21, 1974, of injuries sustained in a one-car automobile accident four miles west of Adamsville. Earlier that day, he had contracted with Bing Crosby Productions in Memphis to portray himself in the sequel to Walking Tall. That evening, returning home alone from the McNairy County Fair in his specially modified Corvette, Pusser struck an embankment at high speed that ejected him from the vehicle. The car caught fire and burned.

56 years after Pauline’s death, in February of 2024 they exhumed her body. No water was coming out of the casket so TBI is looking at the body for any other injuries. They weren’t in a wreck, so the only wounds on her body should be the shot to her head. No reports have been made public at this time, but we will keep you up to date.

Melissa “Missy” Hamilton

Missy Hamilton struggled with addiction. She found herself a married mom of two boys with an addiction. Eventually her husband, Jack, kicked her out of the house and she lost custody of her sons, Patrick and Dalton. In 2008 she was at a crossroad, she either was going to rehab or continue on the dark road of addiction. She was able to complete rehabilitation, move back in with Jack and her sons and remained sober since 2008. She then dedicated her life to helping others with addiction. She got her bachelors degree in psychology and her masters degree in clinical health studies. Missy worked as a therapist and eventually became the assistant director at Crossroads Counseling, which provides court-appointed domestic violence and alcohol and drug therapy to people in Davidson County. 

On February 4th, 2019 after a normal day at work Missy (50) was finishing up a group therapy session. As she was cleaning up, putting away chairs and packing up for the night a man walked in the door. Police say Brian Dewayne Conley (32) killed her inside the Madison business in a shopping plaza at 521 Gallatin Pike South. She was raped and stabbed 73 times. Brian was caught entering the office at 7:30 pm and exiting less than a half hour later. The day after the Missy Hamilton murder Brian called out of work. The following day, co-workers witnessed Brian with cuts on his hands and a pink bandage around his pinky. He said he cut his hand playing with his knife. 

Police in West Tennessee had been investigating whether Conley was linked to the stabbing of another woman outside a mental health facility in Millington earlier this year. On Oct. 7, the Millington Police Department reported that a woman who worked at Professional Care Services, a mental health facility in the 5200 block of Navy Road, was also stabbed 20 times.

The victim is an employee of the clinic and was arriving for work when the attack occurred. Millington Police Chief Mark Dunbar said "The motive for the attack is unknown; however, our investigation at this point leads us to believe it may be a mental consumer." He also said the circumstances in the stabbing in Millington and the homicide in Madison were very similar, and the fact that Conley is from the Memphis/Shelby County area and has a violent criminal history played a role in their department potentially linking Conley to the case.

Police were never able to directly link the murder of Missy to the stabbed victim, but knowing now that he was responsibly for missy’s death in February doesn’t make it unreasonable to believe he could have done the stabbing in October. Police arrested him in December of 2019, the following year he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parol. 

In an effort to carry on that legacy and continue Missy’s work and ministry, Christ Life Community Church has created a scholarship fund to help people in need of professional counseling for addiction, grief, family dysfunction, and mental illness.

Less than one year ago, on Thursday June 15th, 2023 in small town Marion county a home was up in flames. Sequatchie is only home to about 600 people, but neighbors recall hearing glass breaking and loud pops around 8 pm that slow summer night and by 9 pm police were called to the scene of a house fire at the 200 block of Pine Street. As firefighters put out the blaze, investigators enter the scene and find pure horror. 3 adults were dead along with 3 children and one other man who was still alive but had suffered 3 gun shot wounds. He was later airlifted with life force to a Chattanooga hospital.

Gary and Regina were married and living together in 2020, which is when this horrible story starts. Regina had an adult daughter, Brittnee, a mother of three children. The couple had a very intense relationship, with calls from neighbors reporting them fighting, domestic violence calls and stories of abuse from friends and family. Neighbor, Noah Simmons recalls breaking up fights between Gary and Regina and remembers them going tit for tat. That same year Regina filed a domestic assault report against Gary claiming her husband had 50-60 guns. Another report from Regina says she was afraid for her life because she thought her estranged husband would get drunk and kill her. Regina then files a restraining order, in May of 2023 against Gary and a judge orders them no contact. That same time Regina’s daughter Brittnee was being proposed to on May 29th. Soon after that Brittnee’s fiancé moves in with Brittnee, her three kids and her mom.

On June 15th, 2023 Gary would arrive at Regina’s home. He would then shoot and kill Regina and Britnee and maybe one of her children. Of her three kids, at least one was found with a gun shot wound. The other two kids may have died from smoke insolation. Gary was also found with a self inflicted gun shot wound. Police believe Gary went there for revenge on his estranged wife, killing her, her daughter and her daughter’s 3 children. Aaron was a month into his new life at Regina’s house as a finance and stepdad before all of his dreams would literally come burning down around him. 

Police believe Gary lost it, drove to his wife’s house where he broke in and killed her. In his rage he ends up killing Brittnee, shooting Brittnee’s finance Aaron and killing all of her children,. Gary then decided to set the house on fire before killing himself. 

The investigation is still fresh and more information is sure to come out. We were able to talk to Aaron’s cousin AJ about the incident. AJ is an expired follower and she wants to make sure we get the information correct. We talk to AJ next…

Jennifer Hyatte had a very difficult upbringing with her first ever memory being in a courthouse as her mom and dad divorced. In Emory County, Utah Jennifer and her sister were put through a difficult custody battle. Her father quickly remarried and his two young daughters weren’t present for the wedding, which ultimately caused friction. There isn’t a lot of information on Jennifer’s early life, but she did describe her life in a 34 page manifest.

After her parents divorced and her father remarried, Jennifer says she and her sister were sexually abused by someone in her fathers new family which went on for four years. They never told anyone. Jennifer found solace in horses. Her aunt owned several horse stables and that’s where Jennifer fell in love with a thoroughbred horse named, Weaver. Unfortunately she only got to heal with Weaver for a short while, before the horse had moved to a new stable. “Well that’s it, I backed away from horses for good” Jennifer writes.

At 15 her attention turned to alcohol, drugs and dating older men. Her boyfriend was 25 and she was a 15 year old child. While staying between her mom and her dad, she learned how to sneak out and cover her tracks. Jennifer would sneak out of her mom’s house and take her car and learned how to change the odometer on her mom’s car. 

The summer before her senior year, in Utah, she met her first husband. She wrote a day before the wedding, at 3 months pregnant and 18 years old, she found him with another woman. She went on with the wedding and they would later welcome 3 children together, 2 sons and a daughter. Jennifer says the marriage was abusive at times and drugs were being used in the household. 

In 1996 she remembers her first taste on cocaine. “I was hooked.” She also writes that after she tried it once, she needed more and even described being sold off when she and her husband didn’t have money to support their habit. She then went on a six month binge, which ended when she came home one night and her children didn’t even recognize her. By 1999 Jennifer’s husband was arrest twice for drug charges, including a meth lab in the couples 3 bedroom home and DUI in the forth degree all within a 2 week span. With her husband going away she felt lost with “no self esteem, no character and no substance,” she wrote. 

She moved on in her life with a large man who was nice and a bit of a push over. They quickly married and Jennifer says 30 minutes after she said “I do” she met a friend of the groom at the reception named Travis. She was smitten and the two quickly began an intense affair even sneaking off to casino vacations. Even after Jennifer’s second husband found out, the two continued the affair. Her second husband then filed for divorce and Travis quickly moved in. That quickly fizzled out quick due to the fact that “Travis was too much of a kid himself and me with 3 kids it wasn’t working out” Jennifer wrote. 

Jennifer needed a vacation so she decided to visit her friend Tina in good old Music City, Tennessee. She fell in love with Tennessee and eventually decided she wanted to live in Tennessee. In 2001 she and her 3 children packed up and moved to Big Sandy, west of Nashville near Land between the Lakes (check out our episode on Carla Atkins and Vickie Stout). In 2004 she started a job as a nurse at the Northwest Correctional Complex in Tiptonville, Tennessee. That’s where she would meet her third husband.

She fell in love with inmate George Hyatte.  George was a seasoned prisoner. At 17 he had already been through drug and alcohol counseling. He escaped between 2-5 times, including once when George and another inmate used a knife made from a toothbrush and was able to escape. Jennifer was caught giving George extra food and special attention
