Body Found, No Foul Play Suspected

The body of a woman was found Monday morning outdoors in the area of a trailer park on South Judkins Lane in the Jefferson Community.
Although Sheriff Patrick Ray would not confirm it, sources said the woman is believed to be Vickey Judkins.
The body has been sent to Nashville for an autopsy to confirm the cause of death but Sheriff Ray said it doesn’t appear that the woman met with any foul play.
