Richmond, VA – U.S. Marshal Robert
Mathieson announces the arrest of Kellum Williams. Williams was wanted by the
Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) for First Degree Murder, Abuse of a
Corpse and Violation of Community Corrections in Montgomery County Circuit
Court in Clarksville, TN.
On Feb. 1, a human body was found
burning in a field in Robertson County, TN. The body was later identified as
Amy LeeAnn Murphy. The TBI developed reason to believe that five people were
responsible for the death of this 31-year-old mother of three. On March 9, a
special grand jury returned indictments against the five. As of March 10, four
of the five suspects were captured and Williams was added to the TBI’s Top 10
Most Wanted list.
The TBI requested the assistance of
the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) fugitive task force within the federal Middle
District of Tennessee. Approximately a week and a half ago, USMS investigators
contacted their counterparts in the federal Eastern District of Virginia with a
lead on the possible location of Williams. At approximately 2:30 p.m. EST, USMS
fugitive task force investigators based in Richmond, VA, with the assistance of
the Greensville County Sheriff’s Office, located this fugitive. Williams was
arrested without incident in an apartment in Emporia, VA, and transported to a
local detention facility.
The U.S. Marshals Service arrested
more than 36,000 federal fugitives, 86,700 state and local fugitives, and
11,800 sex offenders in fiscal year 2013.
