Yes. The same Shelby County.

Why was the body sent to Shelby County?

Shelby County is a large urban county, and Collierville is in the next county to the east, Fayette. Fayette County is more rural and bedroom community oriented. Shelby County will be better equipped for forensic pathology. The City of Memphis is in Shelby County, but the city and county have separate governments.

This was the lead story on the Nashville 10 pm news. They said dental records would be used to attempt to ID the body. They also said it was a very suspicious wreck because the car was incinerated on the inside, but the gas tank, engine and outside of the car did not burn.
