Authorities in Tennessee have captured a registered sex offender, Jerry Buck Inman, in connection with the bikini strangulation death of a Clemson University junior Tiffany Marie Souers.
Tennessee police arrested Jerry Buck Inman, 35, during a traffic stop near his parents’ home in Dandridge, Tenn., on charges of murder, rape and kidnapping, for the death of Tiffany Marie Souers, according to Jefferson County Sheriff David Davenport (Fox News)
Registered sex offender taken into custody near his parents’ home in Tenn.
Jerry Buck Inman, who was wanted on arrest warrants for murder, rape and kidnapping, was taken into custody without resistance during a traffic stop about a mile from his parents’ home in Dandridge, Tenn., Sheriff David Davenport said.
The family of Tiffany Marie Souers were obviously relieved at the arrest of this sexual predator who has been linked to the murder of their daughter by DNA.
Souers’ brother said he was smiling from ear-to-ear when he learned Inman had been arrested. “I gave my mom a hug and she said she felt happy for the first time in a while,” 16-year-old Trevor Souers said. “I was just really relieved.”
Once again, why are we not surprised that the alleged murderer is a repeat sex offender. Aren’t they always? When is this country going to start treating these people for what they are? Why is it OK for these predators to be walking the street and a danger to us all? Law abiding innocent people do not care any longer what these predator’s problems are in life. They are a danger and have to be locked away.
The 35-year-old construction worker was registered as a sex offender in Florida in September after he was released from prison for kidnapping and sexual battery. He also was registered in North Carolina. His last address is listed as Dandridge, Tenn. His mother, Vera McArthur, told The Greenville News earlier Tuesday that her son is bipolar and often suicidal, and had no idea South Carolina authorities were looking for him. She said he had been doing construction work in Tennessee and hasn’t been in South Carolina recently as far as she knows. “He just takes off and is gone a couple of days,” McArthur told the newspaper.

Authorities in South Carolina have issued a warrant for murder, rape and kidnapping for Jerry Buck Inman of Tennessee in the murder of Tiffany Sours. The Clemson University student was strangled with her bikini top in her apartment. According to authorities there was a DNA match from Jerry Buck Inman in Tiffany Souer’s apartment. Why were the authorities able to get a DNA match? You guessed it. Jerry Buck Inman is a released registered sex offender.
When are we ever going to learn that these heinous individuals cannot be let out of jail as they are just going to re-offend?
Inman has not been arrested. He is considered extremely dangerous and is likely in a green Chevrolet Camaro or an Econoline van, prosecutor Bob Ariail said.
Authorities said the construction worker is a registered sex offender from Tennessee although that information couldn’t be immediately confirmed on the Internet.
Inman also had a felony record from North Carolina and Florida, but Stewart wouldn’t elaborate. Ariail did say that he still thinks this is the first time the suspect has killed someone.

Warrants issued in Clemson student murder
Inman, described as a construction worker, became a suspect after DNA samples from the crime scene were submitted to a national database and returned his name from two states, S.C. State Law Enforcement Division chief Robert Stewart said at the news conference.
Inman is registered as a sex offender in Florida. The so-called “cold hit” matches — DNA matches that bring an entirely new suspect to light — were confirmed this afternoon, Ariail said.
