On Easter Sunday, April 4, 1999, 8-year-old Ambria Halliburton and her 31-year-old mother, Debra Harris, were found stabbed to death in their home in Milan, Gibson County, Tennessee. Ambria is described as an honor roll student. The double homicide launched a lengthy investigation that produced several early leads but ultimately went cold.

Tommy Lynn Sells at one point confessed to the killings, but Gibson County investigators found his account did not match the physical evidence or his known pattern of crimes; by 2002 he was ruled out. Another early person of interest, Angel Ramirez, was also cleared. In 2018 the sheriff’s office reopened the case and began re-examining evidence with updated forensic testing, including the handle of a kitchen knife recovered at the scene. As of early 2023 the investigation remained open and active; no arrests or charges have been announced.

Did anyone in the Milan area at the time have information about the household, visitors that week, or anyone seen near the home on April 4, 1999?
