Maryville Police Department have arrested and charged a suspect in connection with a cold case from the 1980s.
Roger Dale Oody, 62, was transported to Blount County Jail yesterday from Monroe County, where he was already incarcerated for a different crime, after a Blount County grand jury indicted him one on count of first-degree homicide in the murder of Billy Wayne Hearon.
Oody is being held in lieu of bonds totaling $100,000 pending a first appearance in Blount County General Sessions Court on Friday, Nov. 8 at 9 a.m.
More information will be available in the Nov. 7 edition of The Daily Times.
