OVERTON COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) — A man is facing murder charges a week after his girlfriend’s body was found in a burning refrigerator in Overton County, Tennessee, officials said.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said a joint investigation with the Overton County Sheriff’s Department resulted in the arrest of a Livingston man, identified as 49-year-old Edward Randolph.

At the request of the 13th Judicial District Attorney General Bryant Dunaway, TBI special agents began an investigation after Overton County deputies discovered a body along Sunk Cane Road on Thursday, July 31.

During the course of the investigation, authorities reportedly determined that Randolph killed his girlfriend—identified as 47-year-old Hope Parrott—and transported her body in a refrigerator, which he later set on fire.

Investigators have since obtained warrants charging Randolph with one count of first-degree murder and one count of abuse of a corpse. According to the TBI, he was booked into the Overton County Jail on a $50,000,000 bond.

No additional information was immediately released.
