Investigation Continues in Bizarre Northwest Georgia Murders
Investigators are searching for a severed head and arms at a house formerly owned by the suspected victim's stepson. He was indicted yesterday by a Tennessee grand jury. Fifty-one-year-old Howard Hawk Willis was indicted on two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of abuse of a corpse. The charges stem from the deaths of Georgia newlyweds 17-year-old Adam Chrismer and 16-year-old Samantha Foster Leming. Washington County Sheriff Fred Phillips has said Willis was involved in a cocaine-for-sex relationship with the couple. Investigators in Walker County, Georgia, believe the couple met Willis sometime after they married in August. The teens, missing since September eleventh, were last seen traveling with Willis from north Georgia to Tennessee. Chrismer's head and hands were found in a lake at Johnson City, Tennessee. His other remains and those of his wife were recovered in a storage warehouse. Investigators searching for a motive suspect the teens knew something about the murder of Willis' 73-year-old stepfather, Samuel Thomas of Bradley County, Tennessee. A decomposed, headless body believed to be Thomas was recovered last Thursday near an abandoned trailer on Lookout Mountain in northwest Georgia, about 40 miles from his Bradley County home. The man had been shot, with the arms severed at the elbows. Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson says investigators yesterday didn't find any body parts in their search of the house formerly owned by Willis.
