Jones II of Monroe County, Tenn., <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/18JJX8zvwj\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">announced on Sunday<\/a> that Nicholas Wayne Hamlett, 45, had been taken into custody in Columbia, S.C., more than three weeks after the police found a dead body near a bridge on the Cherohala Skyway, which runs through the town of Tellico Plains.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Hamlett faces first-degree murder charges related to the death of Steven Douglas Lloyd, 34, of Knoxville, Tenn., Sheriff Jones said in a statement on social media.<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"imageblock-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"img-sz-small css-nss59b e1g7ppur0\" aria-label=\"media\" role=\"group\"><figcaption data-testid=\"photoviewer-children-caption\" class=\"css-13ytnnu ewdxa0s0\"><span class=\"css-jevhma e13ogyst0\">A photo of Steven Douglas Lloyd released by the Monroe County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/span><span class=\"css-1u46b97 e1z0qqy90\"><span class=\"css-1ly73wi e1tej78p0\">Credit&#8230;<\/span><span><span aria-hidden=\"false\">Monroe County Sheriff&#8217;s Office<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Lloyd\u2019s body was discovered by the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=1044339927707394&amp;set=a.284744377000290&amp;type=3&amp;rdid=KUQhiln7KdT81k73&amp;share_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2F1Dt3GgURms%2F\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">police as they responded to a 911 call<\/a> made on Oct. 18.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The caller, who had identified himself as Brandon Kristopher Andrade, told the dispatcher that he had been chased off a cliff by a bear, leaving him injured and partially submerged in the water. When the police arrived at the scene, they found a deceased man with the ID of Mr. Andrade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But their investigation soon took a strange turn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The injuries on the body, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wate.com\/news\/monroe-county-news\/update-in-search-for-monroe-county-murder-suspect\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the sheriff\u2019s office said<\/a>, weren\u2019t consistent with a bear attack or a fall. And neither the deceased man nor the 911 caller, they determined, was Mr. Andrade. It was a case of stolen identity, and Mr. Andrade\u2019s name had been used on multiple occasions in other fraudulent schemes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The police said Mr. Hamlett, a parolee with a long criminal history, had used Mr. Andrade\u2019s identity. They also named Mr. Hamlett as a suspect in the killing of the man they had found, who had not yet been identified at that time. After the 911 call, the police said, Mr. Hamlett fled from his home and used a fake name when speaking with law enforcement in Knoxville, Tenn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Earlier this month, the sheriff\u2019s office <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/1B31VnJaWv\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">identified the murder victim<\/a> as Mr. Lloyd, a former foster child who had been known to live on the streets but who had kept in contact with his adoptive family. Mr. Hamlett, they added, befriended Mr. Lloyd before luring him into the woods and taking his life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Lloyd\u2019s family \u201cwas shocked to learn that their beloved son\u2019s life had been taken by someone that Steven trusted,\u201d the Monroe County Sheriff\u2019s Office said in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Hamlett was captured on Sunday after a person <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ColumbiaPDSC\/status\/1855746671646527530\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">recognized him at a hospital<\/a> in Columbia, S.C., and alerted the authorities.
