After an investigation that spanned nearly five years and included hundreds of possible suspects, authorities in Tennessee said they believe a custody dispute was behind the killing of a National Guard member who was bound with zip ties and fatally shot in 2019.
Officials in Loudon County said Tuesday that Amanda Bishop, 39, and Eric Byrd, 39, were charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Jacob Bishop, a member of the Tennessee National Guard who had returned from a deployment to Poland in the months before he was fatally shot.
Amanda Bishop, of Kingston, and Byrd, of Lenoir City, were arrested Tuesday, the sheriff's office said in a news release.
