Hawkins County Officials Say Three Individuals Charged In Homicide of 26-Year Old Woman
On Nov. 24, 2017, a badly decomposed body of a female was found on East Pumpkin Valley Road in Clinch Community by a deer hunter. The body was later identified as that of Callie Mahayla Ison of Big Stone Gap, Virginia.
The sheriff's office said an autopsy revealed that Ison had been shot multiple ties, and her death was ruled a homicide.
A "very intense" multi-agency investigation was conducted, in which a Hawkins County detective presented evidence to a Hawkins County Grand Jury that resulted in criminal indictments of three people.
The following individuals were indicted in the case:
-Charles Timothy Gray, 25, of Louisville, Ky.
-William Cody Mullins, 23, of Tellico Plains, Tenn.
-Augusta Dawn Hall, 27, of Johnson City, Tenn.
All were charged with first degree murder, and bonds were set at $1,000,000 each. All three are currently in custody. Mullins is being held in the Hawkins County Jail, Gray was being held in Louisville, Ky., and Hall was being held in Georgia. Both were expected to be brought back to Hawkins County.
No criminal court arraignment date had been set as of Friday.
