Gregory Scott Hale, 37, of Pete Sain Road, Summitville, was arrested Sunday after authorities received information that he allegedly killed a woman at his home. The victim’s name is currently not being released pending notification of the next of kin. Hale is being charged with first degree murder and abuse of a corpse. Authorities have not revealed how they learned of the slaying.

According to an arrest warrant obtained from the Coffee County General Sessions Court, Hale allegedly confessed to killing the woman. Her body has been sent to the state medical examiner in Nashville for autopsy to determine cause of death.

According to the arrest warrant, after killing the woman, Hale allegedly beheaded her and cut off her hands and placed the body parts in a plastic bucket. He then allegedly cut off her feet and other body parts, placing them in another bucket. The warrant states that Hale buried the torso of the body in a burn pile at the residence.

Hale also allegedly admitted to “eating part of the victim,” according to the warrant.

3. This is so horrifying.

What is going on over in Coffee & Franklin Cos. these days? There have been quite a few horrific murders there in the past few yrs. Seems way to much crazy for an area that sparsely populated. Burnt corpses. Mutilated corpses. Corpses in caves. Is it meth? Is something crazy going on at AEDC?

4. I dont think its AEDC

or at least I hope not as my property borders it.I am leaning toward crank/meth being part of it.

This guy was into devil worship crap and on the news it said he had been fired from a slaughter house for doing satanic rituals at work with animals.

5. I was halfway joking about AEDC.

My dad retired from there. I lived in Tullahoma for a couple of yrs in the early '80s. It was a quiet area then. It just seems like Coffee Co. has made the news way too often for horrible events lately. This one topping the list. I do think if it is common knowledge that someone engages in the sort of activity this creep did, law enforcement should keep a very close eye on him, not to mention community members. Granted it is a very rural area & suspect neighbors lived in fear of him for yrs. Did he live w/his parents?

6. He lived in a garage at his parents home.

His adult kid has more devil worship stuff on his facebook page than his daddy did.

I dont recall this kinda stuff going on here when I was growing up in the '60s and '70s and its hard to wrap my mind around why people are like this.

Edit:I figured you were joking about AEDC,I was.

7. Certainly hate to hear that he reproduced.

Apparently a true "spawn of the devil".
