Mobile home, property searched in missing girl investigation
Authorities were looking for a pillow and a piece of Styrofoam when they searched a mobile home near Boone Lake on Friday in the ongoing investigation into Blountville toddler Evelyn Boswell’s disappearance, according to search warrant documents.

[...]

A search warrant was written by TBI Special Agent David Gratz. It sought any forensic evidence or any clothing or personal infant articles of Evelyn, according to a document shown to the Bristol Herald Courier.

During the search early Friday afternoon, investigators recovered something from under the trailer in a brown or orange-colored bag, Warfield said. The underside of the trailer is accessible through an open hole, but it wasn’t clear exactly what was retrieved, and ZW did not see what investigators found.

[...]

Detectives have been to the trailer at least two other times during their investigation and found a stroller during one of the visits, ZW said.

ZW’s family lived in another trailer on a nearby lot for about a month before moving into the one they currently occupy about two months ago, ZW said. However, ZW did not remember seeing Evelyn or Megan Boswell, Evelyn’s mother.

Community rallies around officers during search for missing toddler

This week, Jones and Watkins joined dozens of other locals in bringing their deputies meals. They've even offered them free haircuts throughout March.

[...]

...for officers like Chief Tracey Kittrell, it's more than enough.

"It's evident, I mean you can tell I don't need anymore food," he said, laughing and patting his stomach. "But it doesn't stop anyone!"

[...]

"February's not a," he said, pausing, "it's not a great month for us, period."

That's because February also marks one year since his colleague Sergeant Steve Hinkle was killed while on duty in a shootout with a man who'd barricaded himself inside his home.

[...]

Adding in the difficult Boswell case, Kittrell says their support means everything.

"Gives you a little spring in your step and it re-charges you for the mission," he said.

Evelyn Boswell: Missing Tennessee toddler's family racked by chaos
[...]

“You’re all vultures,” he told the USA TODAY Network's Knox News this week in an encounter at the Boswell family compound in the tiny town of Blountville where Evelyn once lived.

[...]

... Search warrants have been obtained, authorities have confirmed, but remain sealed. ...

[...]

Angela Boswell was just 16 when she gave birth to Tommy Boswell Sr.’s first son – Tommy Jr. – in 1993. ...

The couple, records show, eventually moved to Bulls Gap, Tennessee. In March 2001, Angela Boswell gave birth to the couple’s second child – Megan Boswell, Evelyn’s mother. Angela married Tommy Boswell Sr. a few months later.

By 2009, the couple was back in Sullivan County, settling the kids in a manufactured home atop a hill on a family-owned plot of land.

... In March of that year, Tommy Boswell Sr. told deputies his wife attacked him, stabbing his neck with an ink pen, and struggling with their then-14-year-old son, Tommy Jr., as he tried to rescue his dad.

[...]

It was a cold February morning in 2012 when Brandon Yates and Angela Boswell awakened to shouts from outside the Muddy Creek home in which they had been sleeping, court records stated.

[...]

“Brandon said that he was about half way down the driveway to Muddy Creek Road when he observed a grey colored Chevrolet pickup truck with ‘Tommy’s Paving’ on the side … heading straight for him,” the warrant states.

[...]

Seventeen months later, a reunited Tommy Boswell Sr. and his wife celebrated the birth of another son, Elijah. Tommy Boswell Sr. and his son soon struck plea deals in the Yates assault, garnering probation.

[...]

Angela Boswell filed for divorce from her husband in September 2014 – two months before Elijah’s first birthday. Megan Boswell was 13. She wanted custody of both. She got the divorce over with a year later in an agreed settlement entered at a hearing Tommy Boswell Sr. didn’t attend.

A year later, the couple were celebrating another birth – Charlotte Boswell. ...

It was early fall of 2018 and the Boswells were separated again. Angela Boswell was shuffling the three children – a pregnant Megan plus Elijah and Charlotte – between the Muddy Creek compound, her father’s home in Kingsport and an apartment in Johnson City, records show.

[...]

“I am in fear for myself and my children, Megan, Elijah and Charlotte Boswell,” he wrote. “She is using illegal drugs in front of our children. She is exposing our children to criminals.”

Tommy Boswell Sr. won his request and moved the children back to Muddy Creek. Angela Boswell, nabbed trying to sneak stimulant pills into jail, was behind bars when Megan's baby Evelyn was born, records show.

[...]

Evelyn’s father, Ethan Perry, joined the military before she was born. ...

[...]

Photographs of Evelyn suggest she and her mom were living at the Boswell family compound with Megan Boswell’s two younger siblings at some point before she disappeared.

[...]

Angela Boswell was continuing to rack up arrests in 2019 for shoplifting and driving offenses. Sometimes, she told authorities she was living at Muddy Creek. Other times, she listed her father’s address or the Kingsport apartment.

[...]

“You can say whatever you want about me being a young mom, but I promise you my life is so much better with this angel,” she wrote. “My life wasn’t ruined when I had her, she gave me a purpose and a reason to wake up every day and to better myself. There’s no love like the love from your child!”

Five months later, Megan Boswell hasn't explained where her angel is.
