Attorneys who represent Ronald Hale and Norma Hale, the parents of Covenant School killer Audrey Elizabeth Hale, did not respond to The Tennessee Star when asked about the killer’s suicide note and a probate court filing, which both appear to suggest the killer left a last will and testament prior to her devastating attack on March 27, 2023.
Neither attorney David Raybin, who represented Ronald Hale and Norma Hale in matters related to the Covenant investigation, nor attorney Jeff Mobley, who represents the killer’s parents in the intestate probate case for Audrey Hale’s estate, replied to a press inquiry from The Star which sought to establish whether the killer left behind a document called a will.
Additionally, The Star asked Raybin (pictured above, left) and Mobley (pictured above, right) whether Audrey Hale left any document, which may not be considered a will, that offered instructions for after her death but did not receive a response before press time.
Should Audrey Hale have left a last will and testament, it could provide insight on how the killer wanted her writings treated after she was killed while orchestrating the Covenant School attack, where she was killed by police after claiming the lives of three 9-year-old students and three adult staff members.
While Audrey Hale wrote in her suicide note, “PLEASE READ MY WILL,” her parents claimed when purportedly transferring the intellectual copyright ownership of her writings to the Covenant Children’s Trust to block their release that Audrey Hale did not have a “valid testamentary instrument” at the time of her death.
