David K. DaughteryA 40-year-old Bradley County woman, missing for the past few days, was found dead in her home Tuesday night.
Authorities have issued a warrant for the woman’s husband of less than two months, 41-year-old David Keith Daugherty, charging him with murder.
Elizabeth Carney was reported missing Tuesday, said Bradley County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Bob Gault. Before deputies arrived at her trailer at 1235 Sixth St. NE, family members found her body, he said.
Officers are looking for Daugherty, last seen driving a 1995 Mercury Villager van with a Tennessee license plate reading “373-TLP,” Gault said.
Daugherty has had several run-ins with the law, including pleading guilty to killing a used-car dealer in 1990, court records show. The length of his sentence was unclear.
