Bones in the Ravine: Justice for Tony Bledsoe

What this episode covers

Hey y’all, it’s Julie Mattson, and this week on Pushing Up Lilies, we’re diving into a chilling cold case that haunted Tennessee for over three decades. Back in 1992, the dismembered body of Tony Bledsoe, a devoted father of three, was found discarded in a remote Putnam County ravine. For years, his murder remained unsolved, the pieces of the puzzle left scattered in the shadows. But now, all these years later, Thomas has finally been arrested in connection with Tony’s brutal killing. In this episode, we’ll talk about the original investigation, why it went cold, and what finally led authorities to the man they believe is responsible. It’s a story of tragedy, resilience, and long-overdue justice. Plus, I’ve got a few extra short stories to share today - strange and surprising cases that have crossed my desk lately. So grab your coffee and settle in… it’s going to be a wild ride. * Listener discretion is advised.
