DECATURVILLE, Tenn. – Shayne Austin, a witness and suspect in the Holly Bobo murder case, has been found dead.

WKRN News 2 reports that Austin recently committed suicide. The place and time were not disclosed.

Austin was initially given immunity in the case in April 2014 but it was revoked after the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said he was not truthful.

Bobo disappeared from her home on April 13, 2011 but her remains were not found until Sept. 7, 2014.

Zach Adams and Jason Autry are both charged with first degree murder and especially aggravated kidnapping in her death.

Adams’ brother, Dylan Adams, was also indicted in October on two counts of rape against Bobo for an alleged assault that occurred the same day as her 2011 disappearance.
