In a shocking turn of events, a Nashville man, Joseph Glynn, has been charged with the brutal murder of his wife, Jackie Glynn. The 70-year-old husband reportedly confessed to killing his 76-year-old wife on New Year's Day at their Green Hills, Tennessee home.
The Disturbing Details
Following the heinous act, Joseph Glynn allegedly placed his wife's body inside a plastic cargo box and drove about 60 miles to their property in DeKalb County. There, he buried her in a hole that had been previously dug by contractors. To cover up his crime, he told their children that their mother had left because she was terminally ill. However, the children became suspicious and reached out to their mother's medical provider, only to discover that she was not terminally ill as claimed by their father.
Gruesome Discovery
Jackie Glynn's body was found in a newly covered hole, measuring about six feet wide, ten feet long, and six feet deep, at the couple's other Tennessee property. Her remains were still inside the cargo box and covered with new roofing shingles and dirt, as reported by Fox 17.
Suspicious Activities
In a series of disturbing events, Joseph Glynn had a contractor dig the hole on December 16, under the false pretense that it would be used as a burn pit. He also allegedly disposed of the murder weapon, a hammer, in a community center trash compactor. Furthermore, he was suspected of towing his wife's car to hide it and selling her belongings in the days following her murder. In a chilling revelation, he even contacted a realtor to sell their DeKalb County property where he had buried her body.
Legal Proceedings and Remembrance
Currently held in the Davidson County Jail on a $1,030,000 bond, Joseph Glynn faces charges of abuse of a corpse and evidence tampering. His first court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday morning. Meanwhile, the tragic loss of Jackie Glynn, a beloved member of the Nashville community, has left many in mourning. She was the proprietor of the historic wedding venue, the Riverwood Mansion, and was fondly remembered by friends and colleagues as a dedicated mentor and a woman with big dreams.
