Sheriff Tommy J. Jones II announced that the arrest of Nicholas Wayne Hamlett, wanted for a bizarre murder case in Tennessee, brings to an end a multi-state manhunt.
The investigation revealed that the caller who reported a bear attack was using a false identity, leading police to uncover a murder and stolen identity.
In a twist, the body found near the bridge had injuries inconsistent with a bear attack, prompting investigators to link it to a local parolee.
Nicholas Wayne Hamlett, already a suspect in the murder of Steven Douglas Lloyd, had been living under another man’s name, making his capture critical for authorities.
