I searched for this and didn't find it so I have no idea what the original story was. There's a video at the link if someone knows how to post it.



All five people charged in connection with the death of a Sevierville teen are illegal immigrants; four have pleaded guilty and will be deported.

Police say 17-year-old Melissa Foster had gotten her GED and joined the military. She was hurt during basic training and was sent home to recover. She was apparently planning to return to training at the time of her death.

Police say Foster was living in a Sevierville apartment with Julio Enrique Fernandez and two other illegal immigrants, who discovered her body on November 5 and reported it to police. Foster's two other roommates have not been connected to the case.

Police say two other illegal immigrants, Olvin and Carlos Avilez, drove Fernandez to Oak Ridge to hide out with Santos Francisco Almador Sierra and Jose Sierra. The Sierra and Avilez brothers were charged with being accessories after the fact. They have since pleaded guilty and are set to be deported.

Fernandez was finally arrested in February 5 in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Foster's cause of death will not be released until Fernandez's trial.

Fernandez remains in North Carolina, awaiting extradition.
