POSSIBLE DOUBLE MURDER IN BLEDSOE COUNTY, TBI INVESTIGATING

The TBI is investigating what appears to be the double murder of a Bledsoe County couple.

Neighbors in the small Pikeville community say they’re on edge because the apparent killer is still on the loose.

Residents say Robbin Martin, 49, and James Songer, 41, were friendly neighbors. They’re shocked that this kind of violence could reach their quiet neighborhood.

 

Bledsoe County investigators were searching for clues out front, where two trucks were parked in the driveway.

TBI agents were brought in to investigate what appears to be a double homicide.

The few neighbors who live along the stretch of Brock Hollow Road said they all know each other.

 

Nearby residents are thinking back to the holiday weekend; trying to remember if anyone suspicious-looking drove by.

Investigators said a passerby called 911 shortly before 6 p.m. Tuesday after spotting a man’s body in the front yard. Once deputies arrived, they found the woman’s body inside.

A neighbor said the couple lived there for well over a decade, and always did whatever they could to help.

 

Residents want their sense of safety back and are hopeful investigators can solve this soon.

It’s still unclear how the couple died. Autopsy results are pending.
