Anne from PA - The murders of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom

The January 2007 carjacking, torture, rape and slayings of Channon Christian, 21, and Christopher Newsom, 23, have left an impact on the lives of the victims' families.

But these crimes also have changed the Knoxville community. People have become more vigilant about their safety, more wary of unfamiliar places and more protective of their families.

The slayings of Christian and Newsom represent the typical "not in my town" crime. As a result, Knoxvillians have rallied together to show support for the families and, in that way, heal themselves.

Officer Joe Cox, Senior Evidence Technician with the Knoxville Police Department, shot video of the interior of the Chipman Street house where Channon Christian's body was found. Cox testified during the morning of the second day of the trial of Lemaricus Davidson, accused ringleader in the carjacking, rape, torture and slaying of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.
