EAGLEVILLE _ Detectives are looking for tips in the Sunday night invasion of a Floyd Road couple’s home during which the elderly veteran and his wife were viciously beaten and left bound by a pair of robbers.

Cecil Story, an 86-year-old veteran of both World War II and Korea, and his 93-year-old wife, Edna, were both beaten about the face and head by two men who knocked on their door at 661 Floyd Road late Sunday night.

Story, who was a navigator on B-29 bombers and C-46 cargo aircraft during both wars, received broken facial bones in the attack and was transferred to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for advanced treatment.

Mrs. Story, who weighs just 60 pounds, was beaten around the head, and received a deep laceration to the bridge of her nose from being hit in the face with her glasses on. She also had deep lacerations to her wrists from the nylon rope used to bind the couple to chairs in their own kitchen.

It took Mrs. Story about 15 minutes to free herself from her bindings and call for help after the robbers left the scene.

Because of blood covering their faces and the damage to her eyeglasses no good description of the violent felons is available, though it is believed they were white.
The robbers made off with no more than about $100 which was in Story’s wallet.

Our patrol division, crime scene technician and detectives worked overnight at the scene.

Anyone with information about this awful crime is urged to call Detective Steve Kohler at 615-904-3046, email him at skohler@rutherfordcounty.org or contact dispatch at 615-898-7770.

They should issue a shoot on site for these scum.

This makes me sick. No words can describe how disgusted I am. I hope they have family in the area that can help them and if not, what can we do to help?

Cowards, the only way to describe these scumbag POS's. I wish they would come to my house.

Its absolutly disgusting to read this. Yeah I wish they would come to my house too.

Nobody should answer their door late at night without a gun in their hand.No matter what any chicken#$@%^ liberal tells you.

The robbers should be treated like cop killers.

I hope they catch them and string them up! Realistically though, what probably will happen if they're ever caught is just a slap on the hand. Or even worse, if they're 15, they'll get away with it with no punishment at all! What is wrong with this picture?

Punishment doesnt fit the crime like it used to ...If they keep slapping them on the wrist next time maybe it will be their granmother ot granfather.... Bust in my house...no Liberals here!!!

Get these scum bags who did this!!!! This man served our county with two tours of duty in both the Army and Ai Force.The ones who did this should be hog tied and set on fire!!!!!! Id like to get a hold of both these shit heads and give them some of the same.....

It bad to say but a knock late at night without shouting identity should be answered with a shotgun first and then the door opened. Belive me that is the way a answer to a door knocked on late at night will be answered at this house.

This is absolutely outrageous. A little street justice for those who are responsible would certainly be justified in this case. Then they can be thrown in prison and the key tossed away. No plea bargins in this case. They deserve the MAX.

Sick, sick people !! All for a lousy $100 !!
String `em up !!

um yeah def..knock on my door late at night and it calls for a gun in my hand when door is open!

All I have to say is that I have had my house invaded in Murfreesboro..... I pulled a gun on the people who were forcing their way into my house and I was arrested. I contribute this to being because they were the ones whom called 911..... so be careful about how you protect yourself in Murfreesboro....it's a shame!

By: tennesseemur on 1/2/10
And by the way I would have been better off shooting/killing them....because they did nothing but lie about their actions that night.....I guess hind sight is 20/20!
