Kenneth Wayne Younce, 77, a retired Carter County constable and member of the Happy Valley Church of Jesus Christ, was shot to death in his Elizabethton, Tennessee home on the night of January 27, 2016. He was shot in the chest at point-blank range; his youngest daughter, Sonya Babb, was present and later arrested and charged with first-degree murder. The oldest daughter, Donna Ornduff, witnessed the shooting.

Investigators reported that Babb had a history of mental health struggles and told them she shot her father with his own gun, claiming it was in retaliation because he had killed her son. The case focused heavily on Babb’s mental state. On July 3, 2017, a court found Sonya Babb not guilty by reason of insanity, concluding she was unable to understand the wrongfulness of her actions at the time of the shooting.

Does anyone have information about the family’s history or Sonya Babb’s treatment prior to January 27, 2016?
