For those of you asking about the Smyrna connection - We are at the south end of Nashville-Davidson County. The county line is less than a mile away. Just across the line is the small (but growing) town of Lavergne, then Smyrna. It would not be unusual for several people there to be from...

It's not that unusual to hear gunshots from hunters and such (it's mostly woods and lake out here), but once we heard the sirens we walked that direction. Old reporter habits never die. Once I saw the sheer number of units responding, though, I briefly talked to a neighbor outside and went back...

This is in my neighborhood. Even as a former courts and crime reporter, I'm still in shock I think. We heard the whole thing.

Devin's story is getting a little bump in the local media with the four month anniversary of his disappearance. It's hard to believe there has been no sign of him. I really thought he'd be found quickly...

Foxes also sound like children screaming at times, and there are plenty in that area. I personally don't put too much weight in the scream and the stranger.

He would have been 18. He began National Guard training in Feb 1982, as I understand it. Sent from my XT1056 using Tapatalk

It's only four hours or so. Close enough, in fact, that his attorneys are hoping to have his trial moved to Des Moines. Sent from my XT1056 using Tapatalk

Yes, I can't shake the feeling that this mystery could be quickly solved with just a little more information. I can't imagine I wouldn't take advantage of all the possibilities to locate a lost loved one, no matter how long it had been. Modern technology offers many, many options that weren't...

UM re-aired this case today. Surely his siblings or other family members survive. I wonder if they still believe he is missing and endangered, or if they came to believe he left of his own volition. The lack of online presence and limited information makes me believe they could have stopped...

Primarily the pelvis area. Women's pelvic bones are more open, wider and have a number of other differences for childbirth. Before and during puberty, male and female skeletons are much harder to tell apart. I'm assuming, however, they wouldn't have thought a small skeleton "appeared" male...

Mine, too. And the relief to read it wasn't a young female. Obviously I feel for any family who lost a loved one, but ...

Here's the ID and update. What a weird story, but we've all seen stranger around here. https://www.nashville.gov/News-Media/News-Article/ID/3908/No-Foul-Play-Apparent-in-Suspected-Drowning-Death-of-Hyon-Summerville.aspx

Yeah, the poetry creeps me out a little. Just trying to remember that art is art. :)

Last night I mentioned all of the sirens in my neighborhood, and the scanner chatter. This is what was going on. http://www.wsmv.com/story/28677802/body-found-at-percy-priest-lake http://www.jrn.com/newschannel5/news/Body-Recovered-At-Percy-Priest-Lake-298244041.html The victim has not...
