BLOUNT COUNTY, Ala. (WBRC) - The Blount County Sheriff is sharing more details about a horrific and disturbing case.
38-year-old Justin Fields is charged with murder and abuse of a corpse in Blount County. The Sheriff said he stabbed and dismembered his live-in girlfriend in their home.
Blount County Sheriff Mark Moon tells WBRC body camera footage shows Fields confessing to deputies over the weekend at the crime scene. He allegedly told deputies he had done something really bad, that evidence was inside the house, and that he knew he would be arrested.
“They all have said that it is the worst thing they have seen in their career,” Moon said.
The victim, 52-year-old Tammy Bailey, lived with Fields on Bailey Drive in Blount County, but Sheriff Mark Moon said they had separate bedrooms. The couple just celebrated his birthday, but when they got home from a trip on October 21, Fields told police he went into her room and stabbed her.
“He wanted to have sex with her,” Moon said. “He went to her room and propositioned her and she turned him down. According to his statement, that frustrated him. He said he stabbed her one time and then he blacked out.”
Moon said they believe she died after the Friday night attack, but that wasn’t the last attack on Bailey.
