Joe Speck

According to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, an arrest was made on Wednesday in a 2013 cold case homicide that occurred in Lincoln County.
Joe Speck faces one count of criminal homicide in the death of Michael Mitchell, who was found dead on March 25, 2013.
Mitchell was dismembered and had been left for weeks before his body was discovered inside his Flintville, Tennessee, home. He was 54 years old.
An investigation eventually led to Speck, who authorities say was Mitchell’s acquaintance, as the person responsible.
He was arrested Wednesday and booked into the Lincoln County jail. He’s currently being held without bond.
