Around 9:15 a.m., a black SUV pulled to the back of the house and two detectives held up a white sheet as they pulled the woman’s body from the back of the car. Both bodies were expected to be transported to the Coroner’s Office for examination.

Travis and Jessica Hickman were married and had recently separated. Travis moved out of the house in early August. Police had been called to the residence before and police said those calls are still under investigation.

Hickman spent nearly two decades in prison on numerous charges in both Virginia and Tennessee. Almost all of his offenses occurred in 1997 or 1998.

According to court records, he was arrested and sentenced in Tennessee for felony aggravated assault, misdemeanor stalking, four counts of auto burglary, theft over $500, theft over $1,000, theft over $10,000 and possession of an item with an altered serial number.

He received an effective sentence of five years.

In Virginia, he received charges for felonious assault, grand larceny, possession of stolen property, credit card theft, robber and conspiracy to commit robbery.

Travis Hickman was sentenced to 18 years for those crimes.
