Aaron Smith, 51, was found dead outside his home at a campground he operated in Nashville, Tennessee, on March 21, 2014. His father discovered his body with multiple gunshot wounds, and the scene prompted a homicide investigation that focused on a bitter family custody dispute.

Investigators concluded the killing was not random. Aaron’s ex-wife Denice Smith and her identical twin sister Deborah Graham were accused of hiring Deborah’s then-boyfriend, Alexandro Rivera, to carry out the shooting as part of a plan driven by a fight over custody of the two children Aaron and Denice shared. Denice Smith and Deborah Graham were arrested and charged with first-degree murder.

Court testimony during the trial detailed the alleged plot and the sisters’ roles. Both women were convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole.

Did anyone in the Nashville campground community know or see anything about tensions in Aaron’s family before March 21, 2014?
