Carly Ann Hassett, 29, was killed on March 1, 2017, at a home on Millersburg Road in Bell Buckle, Tennessee. Born in Minneapolis in 1987, she had also lived in Florida and attended modeling school during high school. Those who knew her described her as bright, kind and spiritual, with a love of Tennessee’s mountains and changing light in the hills.

She was pronounced dead at St. Thomas Rutherford Hospital and was said to have been trying to protect two children she cared for as if they were her own.

Partin was arrested and charged with murder and held without bond at the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center. Does anyone have memories of Carly or information about her life in Bell Buckle that could add to the record?
