What a cute, happy-looking 19 year-old. Very appealing. Her t-shirt refers to K-9 companions -- is she involved in that?
I assume she was on foot rather than in a vehicle. Last seen in daytime or night? Does she have a boyfriend or girlfriend? Does she live with her parents? Was she meeting someone? Who reported her missing? Not much info. (I don't use FB, so I don't know any details that might be there).
Hoping she is safe and will be home soon.

Moore said Michaella was visiting Mt. Juliet and was working at a dog training services facility called K-9 Companions Nashville.

“The last time I saw her was Sunday at 5:30 p.m. We walked into the house together, we had a little chat together, then she walked up to her room and I walked up into mine,” Karen Duet, Owner of K9 Companions Nashville, said.

Captain Moore said not long after the interaction with the owner, Michaella spoke to her parents on the phone.

“She then said she was going for a walk and clear her mind, then that’s what we believe she done, she went on a walk, and that’s what we don’t know what happened from there,” Captain Moore said.

I become concerned when it is said that the MP went out to “clear her/his mind”. That usually indicates that something is weighing on them. Did MVK indicate to her parents what might be bothering her?

The fact that she was working at a dog training business in Nashville is surprising to me, given how different it is from the plans she shared for this fall on her social media (not linkable here due to TOS). Perhaps the change in her plans is related to whatever matters were on her mind when she went for her walk, or perhaps it's not related at all--but I do hope she is located safely and soon.

That’s right. Whatever was bothering her may not have any connection as to why she is missing, (relationship problem, mental health crisis, employment\goals, etc). But walking in the dark alone, deep in thought, makes you vulnerable. She may not have been paying good attention to her surroundings.

And doing this while dressed in all black clothing (per the poster) makes one even more vulnerable still!

I wonder if she walked to Spencer Creek?

The area she went missing from is a long winding wooded area... The round dead ends on a wooded area that she may have decided to hike into... I wonder if they have searched the wooded area... She could be in there hurt... Her cell phone being off could just mean her battery died...

I am local to this case. Old Hickory Lake is VERY close to this area. Once again, water in the vicinity of a missing person. There is a marina and yacht club (Cedar Creek) and a boat storage facility on Benders Ferry. All located on Old Hickory Lake. I am unfamiliar with the apartment complex she lived in, so I don’t know how far she was from the water.

I'm thinking it is closer to Mount Juliet as it refers to vicinity of Benders ferry road and says in Mount Juliet (See Posted Flyers above this Post) but Benders ferry road is quite long (6.4 Miles) so without a more exact location it is hard to say where she was last seen.

Hoping they are doing some organized searches if they are confident that she was on foot and know her last location. Especially in the K9 world I would think they have some contact with K9 search & rescue. I hope she is located quickly!

I think that she and her sister might be vocalists in a folk group called ‘Grafted Culture’.

If she was visiting / staying at K-9 Companions, I believe that address is near the very end of Benders Ferry Rd, farthest away from Mt. Juliet (and near Spencer Creek). Jmo
