On June 15, 2016, 62-year-old truck driver Marty Dale Hall was killed in his Cottontown, Tennessee, home on Highway 25 after a violent confrontation with a man who had broken in to hide from police. The intruder, later identified by fingerprints as Eddy Roger Conner, had fled a bank robbery in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and sought refuge in Hall’s residence while Hall was away on an overnight trucking route.

Hall returned, discovered the break-in and, armed with two handguns, engaged the intruder. A gunfight ensued; investigators found numerous shots fired inside the house and both men were found dead when a neighbor, coming to play cards with Hall, discovered the scene and alerted authorities. Conner had a lengthy criminal history under multiple aliases and had previously been featured on America’s Most Wanted. His accomplice, Colleen Sue Watkins, was arrested after the getaway van was disabled and faced charges connected to the bank robbery.
