Michael Goff III has been accused of killing his father. According to reports, Goff was arrested by Metro Nashville Police and charged with criminal homicide after his father’s bones were found stuffed in a duffle bag earlier this month.
Goff III is just 15 years old.
The investigation first began in May after Goff’s father, 57-year-old Michael Goff Jr., was reported missing. Goff III had said that he was driving with his father when his father stopped the car, gave him his watch, said “I love you,” and then walked off into the woods.
From the Tennessean:
However, an investigation by the Homicide-Cold Case Unit revealed witnesses who reported a different story.
According to the investigation, the witnesses say Michael Goff III showed them cuts and scratches on his hands and allegedly told them he had killed someone a few days earlier with razor wire.

Another teen alleged that he helped Goff dispose of his father’s body. WKRN states:
According to a release, detectives also got a tip that another 15-year-old likely had information on the murder. Police said the teen returned from out of state this week and reported that Goff III came to his home on May 26 and said that he had just killed his father.
The teen told police he went with Goff III to dispose of Goff Jr’s body and witnessed Goff III take money and other items from the body.
Goff was first reported missing in late May. Goff III, meanwhile, has reportedly not been cooperating with investigators and refused to answer their questions following his arrest.
