Timothy Brian Stewart, a 33-year-old Caucasian man, was found on October 15, 2015, at the base of a 200-foot bluff in a wooded area off Layne Road in Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee. His body had been there for several days; an autopsy determined the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head. Initial thoughts that he had fallen were overturned by the autopsy finding.

In September 2018 authorities arrested siblings Randy Layne, then 35, and Kattie Lynn Layne, then 32. Randy Layne was charged with criminal homicide; Kattie Layne was charged with abuse of a corpse and criminal responsibility for facilitating a criminal homicide. Prosecutors pointed to witness statements alleging Randy admitted being with Stewart’s body and injuring his hands, and at least one witness who said Randy confessed to shooting Stewart in the back of the head and that Kattie pushed the body over the bluff.

The death remains unresolved and Stewart’s family has not seen a legal resolution. Does anyone have information about Timothy Stewart, his activities in 2015, or what happened on Layne Road?
