Trenny Gibson Case – Seeking Info on 1976 Knoxville School Bus
Hi everyone,
I’ve been independently researching the 1976 disappearance of Trenny Gibson in Knoxville, TN, and I’ve come across a detail that seems to have been largely overlooked: the school bus used on the field trip that day.
After going over the case timeline, what strikes me is the absence of three basic but critical facts:
One key detail could potentially rule out the bus as a factor entirely:
Did the bus have a luggage compartment or undercarriage storage?
If it didn’t, then it may not be relevant. But if it did, and that space wasn’t searched, it could offer a chilling but plausible explanation for how Trenny’s scent trail abruptly ended at the parking lot — a detail that has never sat right with me.
I’m looking for anyone who might have access to:
Thank you in advance.

After going over the case timeline, what strikes me is the absence of three basic but critical facts:
- The name of the school bus driver
- The bus number or any identifying vehicle information
- Whether the bus itself was ever searched as part of the investigation
One key detail could potentially rule out the bus as a factor entirely:
Did the bus have a luggage compartment or undercarriage storage?
If it didn’t, then it may not be relevant. But if it did, and that space wasn’t searched, it could offer a chilling but plausible explanation for how Trenny’s scent trail abruptly ended at the parking lot — a detail that has never sat right with me.
I’m looking for anyone who might have access to:
- Fleet information for Knox County School buses in the mid-1970s
- Details on bus models, layouts, or procedures for field trips
- Clues about who the driver was, or if there were maintenance or transportation logs from that day
Thank you in advance.
