UNIONVILLE, TN (WSMV) -
Four people were arrested, including the wife and daughter of the victim, in connection with a murder in rural Bedford County last week.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation arrested Sean Gearhardt, 20, and Jason Starrick, both of 5353 Cane Ridge Road, Antioch, on Friday. They were charged with murdering Larry Walls, 55, inside his Unionville, TN, area home.
The TBI also charged Susan Walls, 54, the victim's wife, and Dawn Walls, 27, of 5353 Cane Ridge Road, Antioch, on Saturday with one count of criminal responsibility for the conduct of another to commit homicide.
"We felt that they was trying to stage a robbery look, and it didn't fit. We felt like there was more to it than what we was learning off the bat," said Bedford County Sheriff Randall Boyce.
All four are currently being held at the Bedford County Jail without bond. They are scheduled to appear in Bedford County General Sessions Court on Wednesday at 9 a.m.
According to the release, Walls was discovered murdered in his ransacked home at 524 Enon Church Road by Susan Walls, who called 911 at approximately 3:13 p.m.
"I don't understand what anybody was thinking. To think that that was going to happen, and you're going to get away with it, I mean, I can't imagine that," Boyce said. "Main thing you want the public to know is that there's not a murderer loose. They're in jail."
The investigation revealed that Sue and Dawn Walls paid Starrick and Gearhardt $400 to kill Larry Walls.
