Investigators believe Channon Christian was held hostage and raped repeatedly for several days before being killed, a federal marshal said today. The news came on the same day that authorities captured three men sought for questioning in her death and that of her boyfriend, Christopher Newsom. Authorities believe she and Newsom were abducted after a weekend carjacking in North Knoxville that ultimately led to both their deaths, said Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Rich Knighten of the Western District of Kentucky. "They did some really nasty things to this lady," Knighten said. Newsom was shot and his body burned, Knighten said. He said he didn’t know how Christian died. Federal and local authorities nabbed Letalvis Cobbins and a friend, George Thomas, about 10 a.m. Thursday in Lebanon, Ky. Knoxville investigators had received information that Cobbins had a relative there. Lemaricus Davidson was arrested about 3:35 p.m. in Knoxville by KPD’s Special Operations Squad, U.S. marshals and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents. Cobbins, Davidson and Thomas are suspects in both killings, Knighten said. Davidson, 25, was arrested at an empty house at 1800 Reynolds St. He was crying and offered no resistance. Davidson and his brother Cobbins, 24, had been wanted for questioning in the slayings of Newsom, 23, and Christian, 21. Police previously had not mentioned Thomas. He was called a "person of interest" by Knoxville police as of Thursday night. None of the three men have been charged in connection with the slayings. However, Cobbins has been charged with being a felon in possession of a weapon, based on evidence discovered at the Chipman Street house where Christian’s body was found Tuesday. Newsom, of Halls, and Christian, of West Knox County, had been dating since November. They told their parents they planned to join friends in an apartment off Washington Pike on Saturday night to watch movies. At 12:24 p.m. Sunday, a railroad employee on a passing train alerted police about a body along Norfolk Southern tracks between Ninth Avenue and Cherry Street. It was Newsom's body. At 2 p.m. Tuesday, police armed with a search warrant entered a nearby rental home at 2316 Chipman St. and found Christian's body. Her 2005 Toyota 4-Runner had been found Monday abandoned two blocks away at the intersection of Chipman Street and Glider Avenue. More details as they develop online and in Friday’s News Sentinel.

F-ing violent animals are running wild all over America. See the usual suspects and victims at the link.

Sounds suspiciously like a black on white hate crime to me noting the names of the usual suspects.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act - - George Orwell Even though I am only sixty miles from where this exceptionally brutal crime occured; the local networks just couldn't seem to fit it into their nightly ninety-minute local broadcasts. Go figure.
Yep. Click the source URL, and you're see the perps are all black, and the poor deceased girl is white.
All People living or working in urban centers are seemingly oblivious to the increased likelihood of becoming a statistic related to black/mexican crime. People continuing to reside in metropolitan areas subject themselves and their children to higher probability of suffering the negative effects of violent crime that are proportionate to the number of blacks and mexicans sharing the same zip code. Inner-city niggerhoods are a loaded gun and anyone remaining in them is playing russian roulette.

Why are US Marshals and ATF agents involved in this?
The perps crossed state lines and it involved arson.
