Dyer County, Tenn.–The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has released more information on the two individuals whose bodies were found in a burned out car in Dyer County Saturday and is seeking the public’s assistance in the ongoing investigation.
In the early morning hours of February 2nd, Special Agents from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, along with authorities from Tennessee Fire Investigative Services and the Dyer County Sheriff’s Department responded to a report of a burning vehicle in an area off Great River Road in Dyersburg.
There, authorities discovered a silver Ford Edge, believed to be from model year 2018 or 2019, that had been badly burned and, inside, the remains of two individuals, believed to be a black man in his 20s and a white woman in her 30s.
