Harrison slaying suspect returned
A Chattanooga man accused of killing a Harrison man with whom he was staying has been extradited from Valdosta, Ga., and now faces charges of criminal homicide and theft, according to an arrest report.
Joshua Stoltz, 20, is accused of beating and stabbing 46-year-old David L. Murray to death on Dec. 5. He remains at the Hamilton County Jail on an $800,000 bond after he was transferred to town on Thursday.
Murray was found lying in a pool of blood inside a residence at 6422 Ware Branch Cove Drive in Harrison after his sister called Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office deputies, saying she had not heard from him in days.
