A special meeting of the grand jury was convened at 1 p.m. Ten grand jury members along with two alternates were called early Wednesday morning about the special meeting.
The judge called the meeting extremely rare, saying he had been petitioned by the District Attorney to call the Grand Jury back into session. He added that the jurors would not be told what they were investigating before the meeting was adjourned.
He also explained that the grand jury must decide whether there is sufficient evidence or probable cause to bring charges.
It was not immediately known who would be charged in connection with the case.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said they will hold a briefing at 4 p.m. at the Decatur County Courthouse in Decaturville. Members of the TBI, FBI, the office of 24th Judicial District Attorney General Hansel McAdams and the Decatur County Sheriff's Office will also be in attendance.
