The only place I've heard the term "sighting" in reference to Nashville, was on Nancy Grace Friday. It was mentioned a few times during the show.
"Also, tips are coming in from Nashville, Tennessee, spotting baby Gabriel"
and
"Meanwhile, in Nashville, Tennessee, there are a lot of tips coming in of possible sightings of baby Gabriel. "
Any other source that I have seen mention it, were quoting this.

Thank you for this Closer.
~snipped and bolded ~ CASAREZ: I`m Jean Casarez of the legal network In Session, in for Nancy Grace tonight. Well, Jack Smith and Tammi Smith say that they have taken polygraphs today at the police department in Tempe, Arizona. Also, tips are coming in from Nashville, Tennessee, spotting baby Gabriel,
possibly. We`re going to talk about that in a second. ~end snip~
That word "possibly" makes me think the folks at NG were sensationalizing.
But then, here's another snip, bolded and underlined by me ~ JEAN CASAREZ, GUEST HOST: I`m Jean Casarez of the legal network "In Session" in for Nancy Grace tonight.
Tammi and Jack Smith, they are with us live tonight. As you know, they have been named persons of interest in this case, but today they went to the police department and they say they took a polygraph. That was in Arizona.
Meanwhile, in Nashville, Tennessee, there are a
lot of tips coming in of possible sightings of baby Gabriel.
Let us go to Matt Zarrell, NANCY GRACE producer. What`s the latest out of Nashville, Tennessee?
MATT ZARRELL, NANCY GRACE STAFFER, COVERING STORY: Well,
police have reportedly gotten a flurry of tips from Nashville. Now we don`t know in what capacity,
whether Gabriel was seen alone or with the mother. But we do know the reports are that the mother had no prior connection to Nashville. However, Tammi Smith and Jack Smith used to live there before."

So the bolded part definitely makes it sound like there was a sighting. I wish LE would speak to this. Maybe today at 1:00 p.m.? :waitasec:
