TBI Press Release:
ANDERSON COUNTY – More than seven years of casework by special agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has resulted in the indictment and arrest of a Harriman woman in connection to a 2014 homicide.
On December 8, 2014, 29-year-old Thomas Steven Thrasher Jr., known as T.S., was shot and killed inside his Oak Ridge apartment. After receiving a request from 7th District Attorney General Dave Clark, TBI agents began working alongside the Oak Ridge Police Department to investigate the case. During the course of the investigation, 35-year-old Samantha Anne Hendley (DOB: 8/20/86), Thrasher’s wife, was identified as a person of interest.
Last week, the Anderson County Grand Jury returned an indictment charging Hendley with one count of First Degree Murder. Monday morning (2/7/2022), she was arrested and booked into the Anderson County Jail on a $1,000,000 bond. (Photo courtesy TBI)
