Bank Receipt Found Near Dismembered Bodies Linked to Aaron White's Account

RUTLEDGE, Tenn. (WATE) — An affidavit from Grainger County investigators reveals details of the search for suspect Aaron White, now in custody, by Tennessee Bureau of Investigation agents and the Grainger County Sheriff’s Department.

Aaron White, 34, of Morristown, was apprehended earlier this week as a suspect in a double homicide in Bean Station, according to the U.S. Marshals Service. He has been charged with two counts of criminal homicide following the discovery of two men's bodies in Bean Station on May 25.

The affidavit states that on May 25, GCSD detectives and TBI special agents began investigating the double homicide at a property on Rocky Springs Road in Bean Station, where the bodies were found.

"A bank receipt documenting the defendant (White)’s account was discovered near where the bodies were dismembered after their death," the affidavit states. "Physical evidence related to the killing of the victim(s) was discovered inside a secured and alarmed residence on the property to which the defendant, Aaron White had free access."

The affidavit also mentions that cell phone records of the device known to be used by White showed it connected to a nearby cell tower less than a mile from the crime scene. Investigators believe White shot and killed the victims, Deven McDaniel and Jon Atkins, around May 23.

A manhunt followed for White, who was added to the TBI’s Most Wanted List on June 15 after being charged in the deaths of Jon Atkins, 49, and Deven McDaniel, 32.

Earlier this week, the Marshals Service located and captured White in the 4300 block of Dublin Lane in Morristown. Marshals Service officials stated that the TBI and local law enforcement had been conducting ground searches since that morning and tracked him back to the house. Grainger County Sheriff James Harville announced on Thursday that White is being held on a $5 million bond.

White is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 15.
