Gregory Scott Hale of Summitville pleaded guilty on Thursday morning to murder in the June 2014 death and dismembering of Lisa Marie Hyder. He admitted to police to cannibalizing parts of her body. He was sentenced in a Coffee County courtroom to life without parole.
The alleged incident occurred on Pete Sain Road on June 6, 2014. Investigators said Hale lived with his parents, but most of the evidence was collected in the garage or behind the house.
Authorities say that Hale picked up Hyder of Dunlap, TN. in Manchester and took her back to the house, the same day he met her. He was arrested June 8 and has been in the Coffee County Jail under a bond of $1.5 M. He will now be in state custody for the rest of his life.
