Double Murder in Wilson County

A quiet town in Wilson County has been rocked Sunday morning after Wilson County Sheriff's Deputies say they have a double murder on their hands.

Police say they got a call around 9 Sunday morning from neighbors of 5619 Gardner's School Road in Gardner's Township in Wilson County. Neighbors claimed they hadn't seen 64 year old Edna Brantley, and her 67 year old husband William Brantley in a couple of days. When deputies entered the house Sunday morning, both were found dead in their bedroom. Deputies say the couple were killed around Wednesday or Thursday. The focus has now shifted to a grandson Justin Keith Pelletier, who lived with the couple, who has since disappeared in the couples car according to deputies.

If you know the whereabouts of Pelletier, you are asked to contact the Wilson County Sheriff's Department, or if you have seen the Brantley's car, a red 2003 Pontiac Grand Am, with license plate number STZ-2410, again, contact your local authorities. Deputies stress Pelletier is not a suspect just a person of extreme interest.
