Grundy County Sheriff Clint Shrum says that laboratory reports are still pending in the death of 26-year-old Grundy County, mother Samantha Kathleen Chandler. Although authorities in May had “a strong lead,” Shrum said there have been no new developments or new details to release. No charges have been filed. Chandler’s body was found May 1 about 150 feet off a remote, rural road in an isolated area south of the town of Gruetli-Laager. Some ATV riders spotted Chandler’s body near the area where Ross Creek Road becomes Burkett’s Chapel Road, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. The area — consisting of heavily wooded terrain that is crisscrossed with trails and fire roads — is frequented by off-roaders and outdoor enthusiasts. According to a spokesperson for the TBI, agents searched Chandler’s home in late May, but the TBI couldn’t discuss “potential suspects or specific evidence at this state in the investigation.” According to the spokesperson officials are continuing to evaluate the evidence collected from the Chandler home.
