On February 14, 2014, 68-year-old James Hudgins of Hendersonville, Tennessee, was killed by his son-in-law, Sandie Calvert. The attack included a shooting and a subsequent act of decapitation; Calvert was charged with first-degree murder and abuse of a corpse after investigators identified him as the primary suspect and took him into custody.

During court proceedings a later development brought the case to resolution: Calvert, then 45, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and to abuse of a corpse. He made an emotional apology in court and described his actions as the result of a personal sickness.

Hudgins’s death left a family coping with a violent and highly disturbing loss. Does anyone have memories of James Hudgins or information that could shed light on his final days?
