In a recent update from Shelbyville, a man has been taken into custody concerning the grim revelation of a missing teenager's fate. Justin Pickle, detailed by the WKRN, was arrested by the Shelbyville Police Department and charged with leaving the scene of an accident that led to a death and tampering with evidence.
Details emerged about the case involving the reported absence of Maria Lucas Gasper, who was last seen on June 30 at her residence on Bridlewood Drive. After a harrowing week, her body was discovered less than a mile from her home, along the Old Nashville Dirt Road, as reported by FOX 17.
This case, which has undeniably grieved the community, led to the arrest of Pickle last Thursday. He is being held at Bedford County Jail and is awaiting further proceedings. Despite the arrest, there has been no additional information provided regarding the circumstances around the tragic accident.
