The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department reported that Joseph Glynn confessed to killing his wife, Jackie Glynn, 76, on January 1, 2024, at their home in Green Hills, a residential area of ​​the city.

The next day the alleged killer allegedly moved his wife’s body into a plastic box and drove it nearly 100 miles away to another property owned by the couple in DeKalb County, where he dumped her on Dec. 16 in a pit that contractors had dug for himself.

Similarly, Joseph Glynn lied to his children by telling them that their mother had left due to a terminal illness, police said. The children did not believe their father’s story and contacted their mother’s medical provider, who confirmed that she was not suffering from any serious illness.

Seeing this, the children alerted the authorities, who launched a search for Jackie. The woman’s remains were found by the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office last Friday in a plastic box with a hole about six feet wide, three feet long and two feet deep, FOX 17 reported.

Police also found Jackie Glynn’s car in DeKalb County and suspect her husband towed it there to hide it.

Likewise, Joseph was accused of selling his wife’s belongings in the days after her murder and contacting a real estate agent to sell her property in DeKalb County where he buried her body, the aforementioned media reported.
