Tara Leanne Burnett, 33, was killed in her Crossville, Tennessee, home in the early morning hours of February 16, 2015. A 911 call from her boyfriend, Matthew Howard, led officers to the couple’s residence on Kings Down Drive in Fairfield Glade, where Burnett was found with an apparent gunshot wound and pronounced dead.
Matthew Howard, 39 at the time, was taken into custody at the scene. Investigators from the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Department and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation identified Howard as the sole person responsible. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder; later he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received a sentence of up to 25 years in prison. Burnett had been a retail store manager and was originally from Houston, Texas.
Did anyone in the Fairfield Glade or Crossville area know Tara or see anything around Kings Down Drive on February 16, 2015 that could shed light on her last hours?
