Natasha Riley, 37, was found shot to death inside a home on Vardy Blackwater Road in Sneedville, Tennessee, on April 8, 2016. Her death formed part of a double homicide; 57-year-old Ricky Helmick, Sr. was also found fatally shot at the same residence.

Investigators identified Ricky Helmick, Jr., the son of the male victim, as the primary suspect. Information in the investigation tied Helmick, Jr. to the killings and suggested a motive connected to the theft of his father’s truck. Authorities say another relative was confined during the incident.

A Hancock County grand jury later indicted Ricky Helmick, Jr., then 30, on two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of felony murder, one count of aggravated kidnapping and one count of theft over $1,000. He was being held in the Hamblen County Jail on unrelated matters when served with the new charges and was assigned a $750,000 bond.

Did anyone in the Sneedville area know Natasha Riley or see anything relevant around April 8, 2016?
