The family of 85-year-old Roane County slaying victim Charles Blevins has increased the reward for information in his death, authorities said.
The reward from the original $3,000 to $5,000, according to a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation release.
On Aug. 12, family members found Russel Charles Blevins, of 138 Hart Orchard Road in Kingston, shot multiple times in his home.
“It’s just an odd situation. Almost nothing was disturbed,” Roane County Sheriff Jack Stockton said earlier this month.
The family had been trying to reach Blevins, but when he didn’t answer they went to check on him around 8 p.m. on Aug. 12, the sheriff said. Blevins’ body was found on the living room floor.
