On the night of Saturday, September 8, 2018, 46-year-old Lisa McCoy returned to her Duck River Road home in Manchester, Tennessee, with her ex-husband, 54-year-old James Richard McCoy Jr., after attending a concert where his behavior was described as unusually possessive. Friends said Lisa feared for her life and told them she believed he was going to kill her. Sometime that night or early the next morning, while their son was in the house, James shot Lisa at least twelve times in the head and neck.

Officers who arrived early Sunday morning, September 9, found James attempting to clean the scene, collect shell casings, and dismember Lisa’s body, having cut off her legs below the knees and placed her remains in the trunk of her car. James McCoy was taken into custody at the home around 4 a.m. and charged with first-degree murder, tampering with evidence, domestic violence, and abuse of a corpse. The couple had a long, troubled history marked by physical, verbal, and emotional abuse, including prior threats and assaults by James.

Does anyone have information about the period leading up to that weekend or about contacts Lisa may have made expressing fear?
