Ruth Leon says her incarcerated son knows what happened the night Johnia Berry was murdered, but investigators were not interested in talking to him.

Leon said her son Joseph talked with Berry murder suspect Taylor Olson about Johnia Berry.

Ruth Leon said she tried to call investigators to tell them her son had information about the murder.

Ruth Leon said her son's information puts Noah Cox at the scene of the crime. She also said Cox, Leon, and Olson are all friends.

The Knox County Sheriff's Office and the District Attorney General have not released any comment regarding an attempt by Olson's attorney, Greg Isaacs, to link Cox to the crime.

Taylor Olson is due in court Tuesday on an aggravated robbery charge.
