A Murray County woman has returned to the Smoky Mountains foothills to face a murder charge in the death of a woman she was caring for.
Sevier County Sheriff Ron Seals told The Mountain Press deputies brought back 51-year-old Elizabeth A. Ogle of Chatsworth, Ga., on Monday. She is held in lieu of $1 million bond on a first-degree murder indictment.
Ogle is accused in the Nov. 9 death of 78-year-old Betty Rice.
Seals said Ogle was Rice’s former niece by marriage and had moved into her home before the death.
When Rice’s family discovered Ogle was added to the Rice’s will days before she died, family members asked for an investigation.
