“We ask for your prayers for the Cash family at this time. Courtney and her boyfriend are beloved members of my family and like you we have a lot of questions and emotions that we are beginning to sort through today. We ask for you to respect our privacy and appreciate all the support that the public and media has always offered my family, as we handle the loss of my grand-daughter, pray for the father of my great-grand child and journey through the search for justice on this violent act. We are completely heartbroken. It is a time like this that we are grateful for our faith and trusting the loving guidance of God.”

UPDATE:
According to WSMV Nashville – “Wayne Gary Masciarella, 27, was taken into custody in Cookeville in connection to the crime. Masciarella is being held without bond on a first-degree murder charge. His next court date is April 21.
Detectives say they think
the two victims invited a friend over to hang out and they got into a fight.
‘It appears there was an altercation, but to what extent … I’m not free to go into that right now, but there was certainly some kind of altercation,’ said Putnam County Sheriff David Andrews.
Officials are hoping an autopsy might reveal more about what happened.
‘I think after we get a report from the medical examiner in Nashville, we’ll know a whole lot more and be able to maybe shed some more light on the subject,’ Andrews said.”
