Savanna Brooke Puckett, a 22-year-old White deputy with the Robertson County Sheriff’s Office, was found dead in her home on Highway 41 North in Springfield after failing to show for a 5:00 p.m. roll call on January 23, 2022. A colleague sent for a welfare check discovered the house on fire; firefighters entering the residence found Puckett deceased. Investigators determined the fire had been deliberately set and that Puckett had been shot—fire was not the cause of death.

Investigators recovered .40 caliber shell casings, lighter fluid bottles, and other evidence from the scene. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation took the lead in the inquiry. The investigation focused on 27-year-old James Jackson Conn, an acquaintance and ex-boyfriend; a search warrant was executed at his Smyrna home the following morning and he was taken into custody after a prolonged standoff.

If anyone has information about Savanna, her movements that day, or her acquaintances, please share what you know with investigators.
