On the evening of April 6, 1997, Vidar Lillelid, 34, was killed alongside his wife Delfina, 28, and their daughter Tabitha, 6, after the family stopped at a rest area on Interstate 81 in Greene County, Tennessee. The Lillelids had been returning to Powell from a Jehovah’s Witnesses conference when six people from Kentucky approached them, forced the family into their van and drove them to a rural road called Payne Hollow Lane.

At Payne Hollow Lane the four family members were forced from the vehicle and shot. Vidar and Delfina died at the scene; Tabitha was taken to a hospital and later died. Two-year-old Peter was shot but survived. The suspects then fled in the Lillelids’ van and were arrested two days later by U.S. Customs agents in Arizona; items belonging to the family, including children’s toys, were found inside the vehicle.

All six defendants later entered guilty pleas to felony murder, attempted murder and kidnapping and received multiple life sentences for the deaths of Vidar, Delfina and Tabitha and the attempted murder of Peter. Did anyone who knew the Lillelids or who traveled that stretch of I-81 in April 1997 see anything that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
