BODY OF TBI 10 MOST WANTED SUBJECT LOCATED IN LAKE
The manhunt for a 70-year-old suspect in the murders of two duck hunters ended yesterday afternoon after the man’s body was found in a Tennessee lake.
David Vowell, of Martin, Tennessee, had been considered armed and dangerous.
The TBI says his body was found around 3 p.m. in the murky waters of Reelfoot Lake in Obion County, near where 26-year-old Chance Black and 25-year-old Zachary Grooms were shot Monday.
Authorities charged Vowell with two counts of first-degree murder as the search, aided by U.S. Marshalls, intensified.
TBI agents were also assisted by the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, Madison County Fire and Obion County Sheriff’s Office.
Reelfoot Lake is a 15,000-acre flooded forest that is part of Reelfoot Lake State Park, located in the northwest corner of the state near the borders of Missouri and Kentucky.
