A Rockwood, Tenn., woman was found stabbed to death in a Pigeon Forge hotel where authorities believe she was on her honeymoon.
Her husband, Brian Umphrey, is charged with the murder, authorities say.
The Pigeon Forge Police Department received a call from Cassandra Petry’s sister asking an officer to check on Ms. Petry, said Chief Jack Baldwin.
When an officer arrived, he found Ms. Petry stabbed to death on a hotel bed at the Day’s Inn, Chief Baldwin said.
“She had been there a while,” he said. “We know it was sometimes during the day Monday (we) just don’t know what time.”
