In August 2003, Lillian James, 67, and her husband Clarence, 82, were found murdered in their Bartlett Boulevard home in Bartlett, Tennessee. The couple were discovered bound, strangled, and with their throats slashed after what investigators say was a robbery. The crime alarmed the neighborhood and drew a wide investigation.

Authorities say the inquiry pointed to Henry Lee Jones, a former Bartlett resident, and a 20-year-old accomplice named Tevarus Young. Young reportedly testified that he witnessed Jones commit the murders. Stolen jewelry belonging to Lillian James was recovered, and Jones was arrested in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, about three weeks after the killings.

Jones was convicted of both murders and sentenced to death in 2009; that conviction was overturned in 2014 because the jury had been told about other violent crimes Jones faced in Florida. A retrial in 2015 again produced a guilty verdict and a death sentence, which the Tennessee Supreme Court later upheld. Young was charged with facilitation of murder and received a prison sentence.

If anyone knew the Jameses or has information about the events leading up to that August 2003 robbery and murders, please share what is known.
