'This is probably an indefensible case': Phil Holloway on missing Mass. mom probe
Criminal defense attorney Phil Holloway shares his legal expertise as more evidence is revealed in a case of Brian Walshe who was charged with murder of his missing wife Ana on 'America Reports.'
The U.S. Marshal Service is now involved in the search for Kevin Watson, former husband of missing Tennessee mom of three Britney Watson, who is believed dead.
The Haywood County Sheriff's Office announced 34-year-old Britney's disappearance on Sunday after she was last seen on Jan. 7 at a motel on Interstate 40 in Jackson, Tennessee.
"The USMS is offering a $5,000 reward for the arrest of Kevin Watson," USMS Memphis said in a Thursday tweet. "He is wanted for First Degree Murder. The victim, Britney Watson, went missing on 1/07/23. Kevin Watson is possibly on foot in the rural area of Haywood County. He should be considered armed and dangerous."
The Haywood County Sheriff's Department continued their search for Britney and Kevin on Thursday morning on foot and ATV vehicles with assistance from cadaver dogs, Sheriff Billy Garrett Jr. said in an update posted to Facebook.
