Husband arrested for strangling wife to death in New Tazewell

I had worked with Vickie and she was a very sweet person. How could her husband do such a thing?! Such a tragic death!
She'll be greatly missed!!!:(

My heart and prayers go out to the families. I met Vickie at Sears and she was so very nice. I looked forward to just going in there to talk to her. This is a terrible situation and I will miss her from what time I knew her.

vickie always came into my work place and was sooo friendly i didnt really know her but i always did enjoy seein her come in ..she was a very nice person.

Vickie and I had gone to Evarts High School together in the 80's. She and my sister Barbara were bestfriends forever. I had just talked to her a few days ago about finding me a shop site to lease or buy for setting back up my grooming shop. Tony and I graduated together in 88. He was always such a nice guy and always made me laugh. I can't even begin to understand what makes a couple that seems happy, have such a tragic end...My prayers for Becky and Billy Joe for the loss of their daughter/sister and the Harrisons for what their lives must be like now that this is hanging over their families heads...

Vickie was a great person, friendly outgoing and loved by everyone that knew her!

I am very saddened at the lose of her fun spirit, I am however more saddened that they are plea bargainning.

VICKIE WAS A GREAT person and someone's time needs to reflect the loss of that!

Do what???? Chocking someone to death, hiding the body, what could be a possible plea bargain?

As Dr. Phil says " no matter how flat you make a pancake it still has two sides", but I have a hard time with murder by hand.

The only thing I could see the man claiming would be temporary insanity, but if some of the stuff I've heard (not that I believe it so I don't really want to repeat it) then there's no way that could be plea.

She was such a great person, a wonderful woman.

Rumor mill, may not be true, but we will have to wait and see....

I surely hope this is just a "rumor" HOWEVER we do live in Claiborne County!!

And our justice system is about as skewed as Donald Trump's toupee.

By the time this whole mess is over, she'll be turned into the instigator, a plea bargain will be made, and he'll do his community service in a day care.

I didn't know this woman at all, but her family has my sympathy and condolences. I'm sorry that scumbags like this sorry excuse for a man are walking around breathing my air.

We can change!

Our society has been conditioned to handle problems with violence ever since the beginning of time. When we use violence to solve problems, it has the potential to escalate into something awful like this. His brother in-law said that he just "snapped". If we would be totally honest with ourselves, we would realize that this could have happened to most of us! How many people have just "snapped" in the past? I know I have. Whatever their problems were is none of our business. It could never justify what happened. What makes us different is what Jesus died for, the power to choose. We could choose him or not. It's exactly the same concept when it comes to solving problems. We need to choose to leave the environment before violence escalates. Put yourself in his shoes for a moment. Could this be you? It could have been me. Like the late Michael Jackson song says, "I'm starting with the man in the mirror"

I'd say she was the instigator. Why else would a man strangle his wife. She pushed and pushed until he snapped.

now maybe someone can get real help at sears

Tony is not a scumbag. Tony is one of the nicest men you will ever meet. The man just snapped. Oh and he didn't hide the body!!! Dumbasses!!!!!!!!

He worked at DTR and was a good man. I agree with everyone else that he just "snapped" and anyone that knows him would know that also. Although that is still no reason to justify what he done. He was a good man also though and it could have happened to anyone so please don't place judgement because no one has any idea what was going on behind closed doors. He will get enough punishment by having to live with this the rest of his life.

He used to be a supervisor at Englands Plant 8 up until about year or two ago.

Yeah Right, a good man, Huh, if he snapped he sure come to his senses fast enough to drive his children to ky to his family, I would say PLANNED IT ALL, I am glad I didn't meet that GOOD Man and marry him! He was just a good Actor. I bet right now he can't quit saying "I'm Sorry", "oh, I didn't mean it" "I must have just SNAPPED" we all have an excuse, we all have hated someone, I have never stangled someone, looks like when he so called snapped he would have come to when his wife Eyeballs was getting ready to pop out of her head, when he had is fingers wrapped around her neck or how ever he did, and she could not breath! yeah Snapped, keep on believeing that!
You all better be glad he didn't just snap and kill a bunch where he worked.
