CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Nearly three decades have passed since Felicia Carson was found brutally murdered in her Clarksville home on Jan. 12, 1996.
Police described the crime scene as “especially bloody and violent” — something that would change her two children’s lives forever. However, the assailant who investigators said stabbed Carson 72 times has still not been identified.

The month of January marks another year without answers not only in Carson’s murder, but five other cold cases out of Clarksville. The oldest unsolved case dates back 32 years ago, while one of the most recent investigations just hit eight years.
Two of the victims were murdered only about a week apart. However, there is no apparent connection. Despite many years gone by, investigators are still working to find information that could help close these cases.
In 2021, the Clarksville-Montgomery County Crime Stoppers Board voted to increase the reward for information leading to an arrest or conviction in unsolved homicide cases. Tipsters could now receive up to $5,000 — five times the previous amount.
