The remains of a man have been found buried in a small freezer in northeast Tennessee.  Acting on a tip, authorities in Carter County began searching a 17-acre lot in Hampton on Wednesday where they discovered a body believed to be that of 64-year-old Edward Elliott who was reported missing by a family member in late March.

Joey Guinn, age 46, has been charged with first-degree murder, abuse of a corpse, and tampering with evidence.  He’s in the Carter County Detention Center on a $5 million bond and is due in court next week.
