This article appeared in the Lafollette Press on 4/8/04 about a double murder in Jellico on 4/1/04: Double murder rocks Jellico Few streets in Jellico are wide enough for two-way traffic, and Hatfield Street isn’t one of them. But it was lined with vehicles Thursday afternoon following a shooting that left two dead and one hospitalized. The E-911 dispatch center in Jellico got a call at 11:37 a.m. from Rosie May Wilson, although authorities said Wilson was apparently killed before she completed the call. When Jellico Police Department officers arrived two minutes later, they found the doors of Wilson’s house locked, but they forced their way into the home. Kenneth Ivey, 47, who had the nickname of “Dog,” and his mother, Wilson, 64, were found dead at the scene. Sid Hatfield, 64, was shot once in the chest but was still alive. He was taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Center by Lifestar. Hatfield initially was listed in critical condition, but his status had improved to stable on Wednesday afternoon. Sheriff Ron McClellan, whose deputies assisted in processing the crime scene, said he believed Hatfield killed Wilson and Ivey, then went to the bedroom and attempted to kill himself. A .38 revolver was recovered at the scene. Some witnesses claimed to have seen a man in a red truck at the home around the time of the shooting. Although deputies stopped one man in town, McClellan said that lead didn’t pan out. On Thursday afternoon, officials were attempting to get a gunshot-residue test performed on Hatfield. Hatfield’s relatives, who live next door, insisted he was incapable of such violence. “He was just a quiet, peaceful, boring fellow,” said his niece, Deborah Angel. “All he liked to do was sit around and fish.” Angel told the sheriff that the only way she would believe her uncle had committed a violent act was if “somebody was beaten to death with a fishing pole.” She said Hatfield didn’t even own a gun. “It’s like a nightmare,” she said as she clung to the fence that separated her home from the crime scene. Final determination of the investigation will not be available until ballistics and other laboratory tests are completed by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s crime lab in Nashville. Captain Don Farmer of the Campbell County Sheriff’s Department said the TBI has given the case top priority. “We turned all of the evidence over to Jellico Chief of Police Ned Smiddy. I believe Ned went to the hospital and recovered some clothing,” said Farmer. Smiddy said that he is waiting on ballistic results and should have additional information by tomorrow. Hospital officials reported Hatfield’s condition as ‘stable’ on Wednesday.
