Bledsoe County double slaying investigation yields ‘people of interest’

Investigators are now looking into “people of interest” connected to a double slaying in Bledsoe County as their probe enters its third week.

State and local authorities are trying to narrow the search for whoever killed 41-year-old James Henry Songer and 49-year-old Robbin Juanita Martin sometime between the end of a Fourth of July concert in nearby Dunlap and the evening of July 5, when a body was spotted by a person driving past the mobile home.

“I know they developed a couple of people of interest that they were trying to track down to interview,” 12th Judicial District Attorney General Mike Taylor said Monday.

Authorities are awaiting preliminary autopsy results and a cause of death.

Among the questions surrounding the slayings are whether Martin and Songer were killed by an acquaintance.
