Also on the program, retired district attorney Bill Whitesell speaks to the surviving  family members of a man who was killed in cold blood. Whitesell examines what happened in the murder

A retired Nissan employee had just wrapped up a fishing trip he took with his daughter on the Stones River. When he walked back to his truck - in preparation of loading his boat at the Mona Boat Ramp, he was shot and killed. The murder occurred in October of 2015 and to date, authorities have not been able to arrest the subject(s) who took the life of  53-year old William Gregory Hawkins of Murfreesboro. 

On this program, we talk to the widow of Greg Hawkins, along with his brother.
