Missing from the Med Center. Hmmm..... from the ER? As in last seen in the ER after being treated for an injury/ OD/ minor illness? Or does this facility have inpatient mental health services- as in 'walked away from rehab' OR was she a hospital patient for some medical reason and left AMA?

Those are three scenarios which would lead one down three separate and distinct paths of inquiry.

3 people missing from Knoxville are connected, family members say

As they struggled to support themselves and their drug habits, Brenda Carroll, William Inklebarger and Bonnie Drane rested their heads wherever they could. Sometimes, family members said, they stayed together.

Now, all three people are missing from Knoxville, and their loved ones are searching for answers.

As of Wednesday afternoon, Carroll, 46, had not formally been reporting missing, DeBusk said. But her sister, Jaclyn Ellis, had spoken to investigators and was gathering information in order to file a missing persons report.

Carroll, Inklebarger and Drane are all "associates" who lack permanent addresses and have "deep drug connections" that investigators are examining, DeBusk said.

Ellis said she hasn't talked to Carroll since Jan. 1. Carroll messaged Ellis at 5 p.m. that day, saying she needed money for food and cigarettes.
Carroll's longtime off-and-on boyfriend, Shawn Day, with whom she has several children, said he has not heard from her since late December. She sent him a "Merry Christmas" message.

The couple had a falling out in September after Carroll told police Day had held her at knifepoint. Day went to jail. When he was released last month after the charges against him were dropped, he was surprised Carroll didn't contact him.

"If she was alive, I think she would have contacted me knowing that I just got out," Day said. Ellis agreed, saying if Carroll "knew he was out of jail ... she'd be right back there with him."
Day said he's done drugs — crack cocaine and pain pills, mostly — with Carroll and Inklebarger before. He said he doesn't know Drane.

Police seek information to locate trio missing for 2 years

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) – Knoxville Police Department investigators are seeking any information that could lead to the whereabouts three people who disappeared from Knoxville in early 2018.

Bonnie Drane, 47, was reported missing on January 10, 2018, and last seen on Dec. 27, 2017, while visiting a family member at UT Medical Center.

Drane left the hospital in a 1998 silver Honda Accord, which was later found on Jan. 21, 2018, at an apartment complex on Bridalwood Drive. She is described as a white female approximately 5’7” and 140 pounds with brown eyes and brown hair.

William Inklebarger, 42, was reported missing on January 12, 2018 and last seen on Dec. 29, 2017, by his father at a motel room at 1500 N. Cherry St.

On Jan. 5, 2018, Inklebarger’s father went to check on his son at the motel room. The subject was not there so he left a note. The father returned again on Jan. 11, 2018, and was allowed in the room by the manager, where he found most of his son’s belongings.

The room was the same when Inklebarger’s father returned two days later. Inklebarger is described as a white male approximately 6’0” and 150 pounds with black hair and hazel eyes.

Brenda Carroll, 48, was reported missing on March 19, 2018, and last heard from on Jan. 1, 2018, when she contacted her sister on Facebook messenger.

She was believed to be in the company of both Drane and Inklebarger, who she had been living with. Carroll was reportedly seen with Drane on Dec. 27, 2017, when Drane was visiting her family member at the UT Medical Center.

She is described as a white female approximately 5’1” and 140 pounds with hazel eyes and strawberry blond hair.

Drane, Inklebarger and Carroll are associates who inhabited the same social circle, lacked a permanent residence and frequented each other’s company, Knoxville Police said. All three had a history of substance abuse, though it is out of character for them to go long periods without contacting their families, police said in a news release.

If anyone has any information they are asked to please call 865-215-7212 or message the Knoxville Police Department on Facebook (@KnoxvillePD). Tipsters can remain anonymous.

The cases have been updated yesterday in The Charley Project. Details of the disappearance updated.
William Dale Inklebarger – The Charley Project
Bonnie Lou Drane – The Charley Project
Brenda Kay Carroll – The Charley Project

Details are slightly different in each write-up, especially between Inklebarger and Drane. Apparently only one vehicle involved, Drane's Honda Accord, and it was found almost a month later. LE does have a POI who is currently in prison for murder.

Appalachian Unsolved: Missing mom is 1 of 3 whose disappearances may be tied to convicted killer

Bonnie Drane vanished in late December 2017. Two other area people who knew each other disappeared about the same time.

www.wbir.com

The Knoxville Police Department and Knox County District Attorney General Charme Allen say Drane is one of three Knoxvillians who vanished about the same time in late 2017-early 2018.
All knew, in some fashion, one particular person: twice-convicted killer Jeremy Jerome "Big Country" Hardison, 42, of Knoxville. For all three, he may have been the worst kind of person to know.

“She would smile even in the worst situations.”

Knoxville police renewed the search digging for more details in the last six to eight months. Brandon Lee Stryker, the lead KPD investigator on the case, said they’ve done more interviews and looked at phone records.

“All of those together combined with some of the newer interviews we’ve conducted have kind of pieced together a more clear picture as to kind of what occurred, what their life was like at the time, and what may have led up to their disappearance,” Stryker said.

He also said they’ve done five searches in three different locations. They’re focused mainly on East Knoxville to Anderson County.

Stryker said there is a ‘person of interest’ in the case, Jeremy Hardison. He is currently serving a life sentence in prison after being convicted of murder in another case.

“He is still a person of interest, but we believe there are still other people involved with their disappearance and/or have knowledge about what happened to them,” Stryker said.
