Oak Ridge woman accused of filing bogus lien that's tying up sale of lavish Villa Collina mansion
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Villa Collina, the massive Knoxville mansion with the convoluted past, once again has a new buyer.
But a legal wrinkle that now includes both the criminal and civil courts is tying up sale of the 40,000-square-foot home on Lyons View PIke.
An Oak Ridge woman is charged with filing in June what authorities say was a bogus lien on the multimillion-dollar, eight-bedroom, 11-bath residence overlooking Fort Loudoun Lake.
A Knox County grand jury returned the three-count indictment Wednesday, which includes a forgery count. Documents show a second person has been indicted but hasn't been served yet.

And this is where the story gets even MORE interesting........! It's worthy of a book. Maybe the reason the newspaper rejected my comment is that the writer is angling for a Pulitzer for investigative reporting?
