On June 1, 2022, 63-year-old Susan Griffen Gorbet was found dead of a gunshot wound inside a residence on Dogwood Trail in Maynardville, Tennessee. Union County deputies discovered her when they responded to a report of a shooting just after 11:30 a.m. A man at the scene had also sustained a gunshot wound and was taken to a Knoxville hospital; his identity and relationship to Gorbet were not released.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation took over the probe at the request of 8th District Attorney General Jared Effler, and TBI agents worked alongside the Union County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities described the investigation as active and ongoing in the days after the shooting. No arrests, suspects, or motives have been publicly named.

Anyone who knew Susan, saw activity on Dogwood Trail that morning, or has information relevant to the case is asked to come forward.
