TN TN - Ruth Meredith, 67, Knoxville, 3 July 1991

“We know she was real feisty, and not afraid of anyone,” Sheriff Tim Hutchinson told WBIR 10News back in 1991.

He was talking about Ruth Eileen Meredith, a 67-year-old woman who had been found dead in her driveway...

It was July 3, 1991 when a neighbor discovered Meredith’s body outside her South Knoxville apartment.

“There had been two apartments that had been broken into. It appears that she confronted the burglars in front of the driveway in front of the apartments,” Davenport said.
