On January 8, Channon's cell phone provider traced her phone to a location on Chipman Street.  There, authorities found her silver 2005 Toyota 4-Runner, but she was not in or around the vehicle.  When crime scene investigators examined the car, they discovered a fingerprint on an envelope inside the car that was traced back to 25-year-old Lemaricus Devall "Slim" Davidson, a resident of 2316 Chipman Street.

The day after the discovery of the vehicle, police served a search warrant on Davidson's apartment.  The suspect was not home at the time; however, investigators made a shocking discovery when they looked inside a kitchen trash can.  There, wrapped in a blanket, they found the body of Channon Christian.

Not long after the murders, police arrested Davidson at an empty house in Knoxville.  Additional arrests soon followed.  Eric DeWayne Boyd, 34, was arrested in Knoxville, and George Geovonni Thomas, 27, Vanessa Coleman, 18, and Davidson's brother, Letalvis Cobbins, 24, were arrested in Lebanon, Kentucky.

At this time, it is not entirely clear who is responsible for what.  Those details will have to be sorted out in a court of law.  Nonetheless, what we do know is that Christopher and Channon were subjected to horrors beyond our imagination.  In the end, they had probably welcomed their deaths as a release from the hours of pain and agony they had endured.
