A fugitive charged Monday with killing an elderly Tennessee couple had called a 911 dispatcher in Marion County, Tenn., Sunday and confessed he was wanted in several counties.
Edward Michael Taylor told the dispatcher he was “wanted by the law and ready to turn himself in,” a 911 tape obtained by the Chattanooga Times Free Press shows.
On the tape, Taylor’s voice remains calm as he admits he is wanted in Montgomery and Cannon counties and “possibly Henry County.” But he doesn’t say what crimes were committed.
“Can they come here?” he asks from Big Daddy’s Fireworks store off Interstate 24 near Nickajack Lake. “Because I don’t have the gas to get nowhere else.”
Police later linked Taylor with the killing Friday of an elderly couple in Buchanan, Tenn.
