The trial for a man accused of killing a former Cumberland County resident began today.
Caleb Cannon is charged in the 2014 death of 36-year-old Nikki Burgess. Burgess disappeared in Nashville and a former cellmate told investigators that Cannon confessed to killing Burgess and dumping her body in Knoxville. Her body has never been found.
Police have previously stated that money and custody of Burgess’s son was the motive.
