Looks like the son did it but they couldn't prove it. No justice here.

Maynard H. Fine, 67, and his wife Helen D. Fine, 54, were found shot to death at their Maryville, Tennessee, home after being last seen alive following a dinner with friends on May 6, 1977. Their bodies were discovered on May 20 when a telephone repairman responding to a service call found Helen partially decomposed in her car and Maynard inside the house. The couple’s son, Michael Keith Fine, was a person of interest in the original inquiry.

The case lay largely dormant until a family inquiry prompted investigators to reopen it in May 2021. Forensic re-examination connected Michael Fine to the murder weapon, recovered from a local landfill a year after the killings, and to the point of entry at the residence. A grand jury indicted the then 80-year-old Michael Fine on two counts of first-degree murder in November 2023; he was taken into custody in Birmingham, Alabama, and was awaiting extradition.

No trial has taken place; the long gap between the crime and present proceedings, witness availability, and Michael Fine’s health have been central issues in the case. Does anyone have information about the Fines, their neighbors, or the Maryville area in May 1977 that could help fill in the timeline?
