The Knoxville New Sent. has had two stories in the last two days covering two possibly related and unsolved murders from the late 60’s and early 70’s in Knoxville. The first is about the urder of Rose Busch (a well known Knoxvillian and wife of a successful business owner Harry Busch who was having an affair Hazel Davidson - well known Knoxville “playgirl” and later madam) in 1968. The second is about the possibly related murder of Oscar Hugh “Buck” Willman (a local man known to work carnivals and who was involved in pornography and whose wife Henrietta Willman / “Cindy Ogle” was a local madam) in 1972. These two stories when combined read like a story line for a top rated TV drama or blockbuster movie / book. Heck there is premeditation, violence, questionable relationships, affairs, possible dirty cops and hired gunmen. Give them a read if you missed them in the local paper or if you are not from the Knoxville area.
