KINGSPORT, Tenn. — Kingsport police are investigating after bones were discovered under a vacant house that public records obtained by WCYB show used to be the home of a convicted killer.

Stephen Leon Williams was sentenced to death for the 1981 murder of a James Grizzle of Hawkins County.  Williams’ address at the time of the murder was the same home now under investigation.
