Decade-old Bellevue cold case gets new light | WKRN News 2
''The decade-old cold case of Joshua Strickland is getting some new light as detectives investigate recently surfaced evidence. They hope to bring closure to the Strickland family by putting his accused killer behind bars, sooner rather than later.

While strong storms pushed through Middle Tennessee the night of September 10, 2010, a different kind of storm was brewing for the Strickland family.

“We got a report that they found my son in Bellevue, behind the cinema in Bellevue,” Joshua’s mother Cynthia Strickland said. “A lady came by at 1 a.m. in the morning and she saw something on fire and it was my son’s truck.”

First responders found Joshua Strickland, 25, inside the burning truck. He was a musician from Dickson with two children, a wife, and a bright future ahead.

“He was going places in life with his music,” Cynthia Strickland said. “Music was his love. And his children. And his family.”

By the time crews arrived, his burning truck was destroyed and Strickland unrecognizable.''
