Starr Harris

Starr Harris was a beloved mother of three, living in Drummonds, Tennessee, with her husband, Rick, and their blended family. On June 1, 2010, Starr disappeared from her home after speaking with several people, including employee Rickey Bell, about a dispute over his paycheck. That evening, her stepson found her body in the woods behind the house. Starr had been sexually assaulted, beaten, and strangled, and investigators believed she knew her killer because there were no signs of forced entry.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Starr Harris. Evidence eventually pointed to Rickey Bell, whose DNA was found inside a condom recovered near Starr’s body. Bell was arrested and charged with murder and sexual assault, while his brothers were later accused of attempting to intimidate a witness. At trial, prosecutors argued Bell used a gun-shaped lighter to overpower Starr and forced her into the woods after their argument. The defense suggested another employee could have been responsible.
