FAYETTEVILLE, TN (WAFF) - A man accused of six murders in Southern Tennessee and North Alabama appeared in a Lincoln County courtroom Thursday morning for his preliminary hearing.
Jacob Levi Shaffer is in court for a preliminary hearing for the murders of five people in July. He is charged with five counts of first degree murder in Tennessee.
He is accused of stabbing to death his estranged wife Traci Shaffer, her son Devin Brooks, his friend Robert Berber Brock, Traci's father Billy Hall and her brother Chris Hall.
He's also accused of beating Sidney Dempsey to death at a Huntsville business. No charges have been filed over the Huntsville killing. The Madison County District Attorney expects the case against Schaffer will go to a grand jury once Tennessee finishes their case.
