(http://www.tullahomanews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/megan-sharpton.jpg) published Tuesday, July 10th, 2012 Woman found burning in Franklin County died of blunt force trauma by Ben Benton Preliminary autopsy results show a blow to the head likely killed the 24-year-old nursing student whose body was found a week ago still burning on the side of a Franklin County back road, authorities said Monday. Erika Megan Sharpton, of 109 Camellia Circle in Tullahoma, Tenn., died as a result of blunt force trauma, according to Franklin County investigators and TBI agents, but authorities remained tight-lipped on other details as detectives continue to conduct interviews. No arrests have been made. Sharpton's body was found by a passing motorist about 1:18 a.m. CDT on July 2, still burning in a grassy area off Awalt Road. The fire left a burned patch in a narrow pull-off at the west end of the bridge over Tims Ford Lake, authorities said. Later the same day, Sharpton's red 1995 Ford Mustang was found on Three Forks Bridge Road near U.S. Highway 64 in Normandy, Tenn. ::snipping2:: Title: Re: Erika Megan Sharpton, 24yrs old Franklin County TN Body Found 7/2/12 Post by: Blink34 on August 22, 2012, 09:20:26 PM Klaas, I so appreciate you starting this thread. Have been working on Meg's case all day, she and her family deserve some monkey eyes on it.
This starry little lady was brutally murdered. She was also very loved and very kind. Sadly, in this case we are going to learn about a preventable crime, imo- Again. Love, Peace and light to the Sharpton and Cornelius families and friends.

New leads, possible suspects in young woman's death Posted: Aug 15, 2012 8:44 PM PDT Updated: Aug 16, 2012 3:37 AM PDT Posted by Alan Frio - email Megan Sharpton Megan Sharpton TULLAHOMA, TN (WSMV) - Franklin County Sheriff Tim Fuller told Channel 4 News of a possible break in the murder of Megan Sharpton. The 24-year-old nursing student was found by a passing driver July 3. She was murdered and her body was set on fire to cover up the crime. Fuller said investigators from his department searched a mobile home between Tullahoma and Manchester. Cadavar dogs led them there, but Fuller didn't elaborate how they were led to the residence or what evidence they discovered. Fuller said the evidence is with the Franklin County District Attorney's office, who will decide if and when an arrest is made ::snipping2:: (http://wsmv.images.worldnow.com/images/19290469_BG1.jpg) Title: Re: Erika Megan Sharpton, 24yrs old Franklin County TN Body Found 7/2/12 Post by: Blink34 on August 23, 2012, 12:41:11 PM Warning: Will Tick You Off.

Based on several combined factors, my strongest concern, and underlining he may not be involved, is for a RSO named Jeffrey Wayne Trull. He lives in walking distance of where Megan was recovered, and he is also tied to the Stacy Ann Mobile Home Park in Manchester. His older brother died in prison while serving 30 years for attempted murder, his brother Brian and he have extremely lengthy violent criminal records that have me wondering how either one is walking the streets in the first place. Brian was arrested for DUI on July 12th I have a feeling that the reason that the DA is dragging feet on this one might have to do with a former plea agreement, but I have not been able to verify that yet. Whether the Trull brothers turn out to be involved or not, I have some serious concerns about the jurisprudence going on in that area.

I apologize for that.
In this case, I am sick over a new development. Kelly Hale Sharpton, Mother of Megan Sharpton, passed away in Chattanooga Friday. She was laid to rest this evening in Tullahoma. It is a staunch reminder of how murderers do not just take the lives of one victim- in this case Megan- this waste of air ultimately took Kelly's life. Kelly was fiercely brave, and together with LE, we were successful in putting Donnie Jones in jail for the rest of his natural life. I am so very sad at her passing- I truly believed that his incarceration was helping her grief. I broke my own professional rule and grew to love her dearly. We would giggle at each of our accents and mock the other when things were tense in Meg's case. It was completely surreal to have an avid BOC reader become a profiled case. I know she felt that way also. I was so proud of her ability to focus in the face of what no Mother ever should have to. Please pray for Kelly and her family and friends as she joins Megan in the stars. |
