Smith indicted on two counts First Degree Murder
A joint investigation by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Greene County Sheriff’s Office has resulted in the indictment of an Afton woman on murder charges. On August 21st, at the request of Third Judicial District Attorney General Dan Armstrong, TBI agents joined the Greene County Sheriff’s Office in investigating the discovery of a body found along Jud Neal Loop in Afton. The victim was ultimately identified as Jessie Morrison, 21, of Greeneville, who was pregnant at the time of her death. During the investigation, authorities developed information leading to Vonda Star Smith, 51, the grandmother of one of Morrison’s children, as the suspect in the crime. This week, the Greene County Grand Jury returned indictments charging Smith with two counts of First Degree Murder. She was arrested Wednesday, and booked into the Greene County Jail on an $800,000 bond.
