At the request of 12th Judicial District Attorney General Courtney Lynch, TBI special agents joined the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office in investigating the circumstances leading to the death of 59 year-old Debra Gayle Green after she was found deceased from a gunshot wound inside her residence in the 3300 block of State Route 56 in Coalmont. During the investigation, agents gathered evidence indicating a 17-year-old female was responsible for Green’s death.
Investigators determined that a person of interest had left the residence in a vehicle. The vehicle was later found abandoned in the Clouse Hill area. Officers with the Tracy City Police Department and Monteagle Police Department, along with a Constable assisted in securing the vehicle.
A female identified during the investigation was transported to the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office. After the scene was processed, investigators interviewed her. During the interview, she admitted involvement in the homicide.
Sequatchie Valley Now has received information from residents that the 17 year-old female is the daughter of the deceased.
