''NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — After a night out with friends, a popular makeup artist was found dead in the middle of a street in East Nashville, and now more than 10 years later the circumstances surrounding her death remain a mystery.
Metro Police said on Feb. 19, 2013, 32-year-old Livia Smith went out barhopping with friends in the 5 Points Area of East Nashville. After hanging out at 3 Crow Bar, she decided it was time to go home, and her friends helped her into a taxi van parked outside the bar. She left on a less than 10 minute drive to her home on Barclay Drive.''
''About two hours later in the early morning hours of Feb. 20, Smith's lifeless body was found lying in the middle of Barclay Drive. She was less than a block from her home.''
''Witnesses described the cab as yellow or green and the driver as a middle aged, Middle Eastern man. Filter said despite a thorough investigation of Nashville cab companies, they weren't able to confirm what company or driver had a cab at the bar.''
