Jennifer Lee Hampton

Early last Sunday, we broke the Jennifer Lee Hampton story to the Shoals Area. Since then, we have been in daily contact with the Knoxville Police Department seeking answers for you our readers. We are very proud to see Shoals Area citizens coming together for this very special cause.

We talked to a few members of the news media in Knoxville. One reporter told us "You guys must be a tight knit community over there in Florence, Alabama. It seems your whole community has come together behind this with support and concern. It's not that often we see that here in Knoxville."

At times, we seem to hear a lot of negatives about the Shoals. It's good to hear positives, even from out of towners.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jennifer's family in this difficult time.

Evacuees stress some in Shoals Area

Evacuees in altercation with Helen Keller Hospital

In the spirit of community and helping others, we think it is so awesome how the Shoals rose to the occasion to help so many of the evacuees from New Orleans recently.

All in all, we continue to believe the Shoals Area is one of the best places to live and work. Some of us get ill when we see some being taken advantage of(nurses, hospital staff, students, etc..) We at the Shoals Insider wrote an article about the incident at HKM hospital, not to stir hatred or discord, but to inform our readers of news they are not receiving elsewhere. We want to provide another lens for our readers, another point of view. We feel we are doing just that.
