Emily Jo Heckler, of Hambleton, has been charged with one felony count of murder. According to the criminal complaint, on Friday, April 13 at approximately 12:30 p.m. the Tucker County 911 Communications Center received a call from Marion Heckler at 2049 Mackeyville Rd in Hambleton stating that her step-daughter, Emily Heckler, had just been released from the hospital and that she was afraid that Emily was going to hurt herself or someone else and that she was allegedly out of control. Deputy C.A. Teter of the Tucker County Sheriff’s office attempted to contact the victim on her cell phone while en route to the residence. Teter arrived at the residence a short time later where he observed something lying in the driveway and realized it was a female covered in blood. Teter ran to the victim and attempted to check her condition, and radioed for emergency units to respond. He pulled his duty weapon for his and the victim’s safety. He allegedly observed a large kitchen knife lying next to the victim along with her cell phone. He heard loud screaming coming from inside the residence and then a female, later identified as Emily Heckler, came out onto the front porch and continued to scream. Teter directed her to kneel down and not move. A few minutes later, NRP Officer Ozales pulled in and officers secured her and placed her in a chair on the front porch. A few minutes later Sgt. Dave Gidley, of the Parsons Police Department, pulled in and officers attempted CPR, but were having no response. EMS personnel arrived on scene but did not start CPR due to the victim status and her injuries. The county medical examiner, Heather Harper, was contacted. The weapon and scene were secured by officers. There were bloody footprints allegedly belonging to the suspect that led from the victim back to the front of the residence. The suspect and her clothing were allegedly covered in what is believed to be the victim’s blood. After being advised of her Miranda Rights the suspect allegedly stated to Teter that she had an argument with her step- mom and grabbed a knife from the kitchen, chased her outside and allegedly stabbed her multiple times.
