Nearly two months after her burned body was found in a Tennessee field, investigators tracked down one of the people believed responsible for the murder of Amy LeeAnn Murphy. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation arrested Kellum Williams, 34, Monday after a tip led them to Emporia, Virginia.
“Approximately a week and a half ago, U.S. Marshal Service investigators contacted their counterparts in the federal Eastern District of Virginia with a lead on the possible location of Williams,” United States Marshals Service Deputy U.S. Marshal Desmond Proctor said. “At approximately 2:30 p.m., the U.S. Marshal Service fugitive task force investigators based in Richmond, Virginia, with the assistance of the Greensville County Sheriff’s Office, located this fugitive. Williams was arrested without incident in an apartment in Emporia and transported to a local detention facility.”
Williams was wanted for first-degree murder, abuse of a corpse and violation of community corrections in Tennessee. He was considered one of that state’s Top 10 Most Wanted Fugitives.
