Manhunt over in Robertson County after murder suspect found in cave

GREENBRIER, Tenn. (WTVF) — Authorities have captured a suspect who spurred a manhunt in Robertson County after deputies believe he killed his stepdad.

The Robertson County Sheriff's Office said they found Jimmy Anthony Cox, 39, inside an unknown remote cave off of Smiley Hollow Road. Tips came to the sheriff's office spotting smoke billowing from the cave.

Deputies said they responded to a welfare check at a home on Fishers Grove on Feb. 4. That is when they found Jeremy Crabtree, Cox's stepdad, dead from multiple stab wounds.

“Thank you to all the citizen's tips and the numerous law enforcement agencies that assisted in the search and getting a murderer off of our streets,” said Sheriff Michael Van Dyke.

Cox is currently in the booking process. His bond is not known at this time.

Eight brand new Corvettes were stolen from GM's Bowling Green plant. How good neighbors spoiled the heist

The line ''see something, say something" took on new meaning recently in Bowling Green. Two alert neighbors helped tip police to stolen Corvettes from the nearby assembly plant. That led law enforcement to find 8 stolen Corvettes worth over $1 million. We may all be able to learn a little lesson from this.
