‘I will never get those smells out of my head:’ First responder recalls what he found at Knox County house of horror
"Prosecutors presented photos that were taken at the scene for Sandlin to review. According to prosecutors, the photos showed the position the knobs on the stove were set to, feces in the living room, a box of latex gloves, credit cards and a purse.
“It was quite a complex scene,” said Sandlin.
Sandlin read over notes from a notebook found in a backpack in the guest bedroom where Guy Jr. was staying according to family. In that contained a plan for the killings and how one would attempt to cover them up in explicit detail.
“Flush chunks down toilet, not garbage disposal,” the notes read. “Don’t have to get rid of body if no forensic evidence.”
Another page shows details of the assets belonging to Lisa Guy including a $500,000 life insurance policy that lists Joel Guy Jr. as a beneficiary.
“$500,000 would be all mine," the page read.
The notebook also included detailed plans for dismembering Lisa and Joel Sr.'s bodies and instructions for heating the house to “accelerate the tissue breakdown.”
One note read, “turn the thermostat as high as it will go."
