The Facebook Murders - Janelle Potter

The Facebook Murders - Janelle Potter

January 31, 2012 Billy Payne and his live in girlfriend and mother of his infant child, Billie Jean Hayworth, were found shot to death in their Mountain City, Tennessee home.  During the course of the investigation, officers identified Marvin "Buddy" Potter, his wife, Barbara, and their youngest daughter, Janelle, as enemies.  What they uncovered throughout the course of their investigation would include the CIA, one of the biggest cat fishing schemes ever, and a whole lot of manipulation of multiple people.
