The family of 31-year-old Eleni Kassa said she was last seen by neighbors at the Arbor Brook Apartments in Murfreesboro. They said she left her keys, phone, and personal car at her apartment, which is unlike her.

Kassa’s family described her as a dedicated mom who works full-time and moved to Tennessee to live the American dream.

Kassa’s family flew to Murfreesboro worried after she didn’t pick up her 6-year-old daughter from school.

“Extremely unlike her. She is a very dedicated mother, very responsible person,” Mengistu said.

All weekend her family has been speaking with police and looking through her apartment. So far, they said the complex has no video footage to show when she left and why.

Murfreesboro Police said Kassa may be in a black Dodge Charger with a Tennessee license plate: 7L87V2. Police said the tag on the car was pinged last in Ohio, possibly by a license plate reader. Her family believes she was forced to leave by a friend.

Weird wording. Forced by a friend? What kind of friend? Not a nice one, I’m gonna guess!

So, her body was in the trunk, but the driver also died in the crash, after a shootout with police? There was also a passenger in the car who didn't die.

I wonder if the driver was the same person named as the defendant in the court records linked above.

I wonder if the driver was the same person named as the defendant in the court records linked above.

The article I posted identifies the driver as "they" so there's no way to know if it was even a male or female. I suppose a logical conclusion would be male just based on nothing more than my own opinion of the individual who typically are involved in police chases and shootouts.
