William Justin Churchwell, 31, is being held in the Downtown Detention Center without bond after being charged late Tuesday night with the murder of Charley Marie Koole, 40. Koole was found dead inside of a car at 500 Paragon Mills Road on February 22. It is believed that she was killed and left inside the car more than month earlier, on January 15.
Undercover TITANS (The Investigative Team Addressing Neighborhood Shootings) took Churchwell into custody Tuesday in the parking lot of an apartment complex near the intersection of Harding Place and Nolensville Pike on an unrelated armed robbery warrant. He was brought to police headquarters where he implicated himself in Koole’s murder.
At the time of the homicide, Churchwell was free on a $25,000 bond in relation to an armed robbery charge from last August.
