On May 2, 2021, Brenda Gail Booth, 62, was found fatally shot inside a camper in the 200 block of Brickplant Lane in Jellico, Tennessee. Campbell County deputies discovered her body around 2:30 p.m., and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation joined the sheriff’s office in a joint investigation.

That inquiry led to 56-year-old Steven W. Zecchini of Jellico. A warrant was issued and Zecchini was arrested on May 3 and booked into the Campbell County Jail. He was charged with murder; a grand jury later indicted him on second-degree murder, tampering with evidence, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. In August 2021 Zecchini, through appointed counsel, pleaded not guilty to all counts.

Anyone who knew Brenda, her movements that day, or has information about the case is asked to come forward.
