Robert William ’Robbie’ Phillips was 24 when he and his 28-year-old wife, Kelli Jean Gifford Phillips, were found murdered in their Econo Lodge motel room in Nashville on March 7, 1994. The couple had recently moved from California so Robbie could pursue a country music career. Both victims had been bludgeoned to death; Kelli suffered sexual assault and ligature marks on her wrists.

Investigators believe the couple met a man identified as Tom Steeples at a local bar that evening, and that Steeples accompanied them back to the motel. DNA recovered from the crime scene later linked Tom Steeples to the murders. The Phillips case was investigated alongside an earlier October 1993 slaying of Ronnie Bingham, who had been shot and his body burned in his bar; a witness placed a man named Tom at the Corral Club the night Bingham died.

Tom Steeples was arrested and charged in connection with the three deaths. He was later found dead in his jail cell on August 10, 1994; his death was ruled a suicide from a cocaine-induced heart attack. Who in Nashville around 1993–1994 might still have information about the Corral Club or the Phillipses’ last night?
