Fentress County grand jurors indicted two caregivers for first-degree murder and aggravated neglect in the August 2024 death of Andrew Willis, an adult with developmental disabilities.

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation agents determined that his mother, Deborah Deloris Laraway, and sister, Deborah ‘Mae’ Viola, failed to provide adequate food and care. Viola additionally faces charges of TennCare fraud and computer offenses for billing unprovided services.

Police in Ohio arrested both women. They remain in the Warren County Jail awaiting extradition to Tennessee.
