Detectives from Post 10, Harlan are continuing the investigation into the death of Debra K. Baker, 55, of Middlesboro. According to a press release, the lead investigator, Det. Bryan Johnson received a tip on Saturday in reference to the case. After following up on the tip, property from the residence has been recovered and four arrests have been made.

Brenda Sue Miller was arrested and charged with murder and first-degree burglary. Charles Gilbert Jr., Chad Allen Love, and Varion Johnson have been arrested and charged with murder, first-degree burglary and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.

Baker's daughter told LEX 18 that she discovered her mother's body and it had appeared that she had been shot. She also said the house appeared to have been ransacked and money and a PlayStation was missing from the scene.

This is a rural area about 70 miles north of Knoxville, Tennessee.

It would be horrifying to find your mother shot.

Anyone find any more information about the case?
 
Chad Allen Love & Varion Johnson were previously convicted of robbing a McDonalds & sentenced to 25 years as repeat violent offenders. A Tennessee court overturned the juries decision so they could escalate their criminal violence.
 
Just a few weeks after a Bell County woman was found dead in her daughter's home, state troopers have arrested four people for the murder.

It's a name Debra Baker's family is familiar with - Brenda Miller.

Family members say Miller was a close family friend, but now she and three other men, Charles Gilbert, Chad Love and Varion Johnson, are accused of murder in connection to the death of the 55-year-old grandmother
"That's a real hard pill to swallow. I mean, we have pictures of her and my sister together," said Arther Hatfield, Baker's brother.

The McDonald's they robbed was in Sevierville, Tennessee.
They had some support in Tennessee. Wonder what the people who helped free them think now.
