KCSO identifies mother, son in Village Green murder-suicide

KCSO has identified the victims as Judith Nye, 75 and James Nye, 54, who were mother and son.

Farragut, Tenn. — The Knox County Sheriff's Department is investigating a murder-suicide in Village Green in Farragut.

KCSO has identified the victims as Judith Nye, 75 and James Nye, 54, who were mother and son.

Officials are investigating James as a suspect in this case.

Earlier yesterday, Nov. 3, a family member went to the home but did not go inside. They called 911 for a welfare check because they had not heard from the victims in a few days, according to investigators.

KSCO said the victims may have been dead for several days. There is no word on a weapon yet.

Investigators also said the bomb squad was called after deputies found documents inside the home that led to a potential explosive device.

The bomb squad cleared the area.
