The Fall Line: True Crime

Across the country, medicolegal officials have begun to organize “Missing Persons Day” events to help families submit new cases or add to old case files, in hopes of both finding the missing and identified Doe victims; we speak to the organizers of a brand-new event in Dekalb County, GA, where a new grant has made advanced DNA testing possible, and the founder of long-running Missing in Michigan about how officials can better serve families of the missing and close more cold cases.  Pre order Laurah’s book LAY THEM TO REST: https://www.hachettebooks.com/titles/laurah-norton/lay-them-to-rest/9780306828805/ Cancel unwanted subscriptions and manage your expenses the easy way by going to RocketMoney.com/FALLLINE.

Part two of our series covering the disappearance of Pat Allen Guild, and exploring the investigation into his disappearance.  Patrick “Pat” Allen Guild moved to Nashville with dreams of making it big in the songwriting business. But things didn’t work out as he planned; he spent his time in the city living in its unhoused community, in an encampment near the I-24 overpass. Pat was last heard from around December of 1991—and since then, there’s been no trace of him. Now, his adult daughter, Shannon, is trying to work backward to separate the threads of her father’s life, and piece together the bits of information she’s discovered to find out what, exactly, happened to her father. It’s not a pleasant journey for her; her own mother was afraid of Pat, and for good reason. But more than anything, Shannon need to know—she needs resolution.  To submit information, please contact Detective Filter at Metro Nashville Police at 615-862-7803.

On November 26, 2022, 41-year old Reina Morales Rojas got into a car in East Boston, MA and was later dropped off in nearby Somerville. That’s the last time anyone had seen or heard from the mother of two. Though she was reported missing soon after, the public didn’t hear anything about Reina’s disappearance for almost two months. If activist Lucy Pineda of Latinos Unidos en Massachusetts hadn’t stepped in to help bring attention to her case, Reina’s family wonders if her story would’ve ever made the news. Now four months later, Reina still isn’t home and information is scarce. Her children and sister in El Salvador await any sign that she is okay, all while fighting for attention on her case.

In March of 1976, a young woman was discovered, with no obvious trauma, in the Harpeth River in Nashville; she carried on her a picture of a little boy, and a trail that led to witnesses who said she’d hitchhiked with a mysterious friend, all the way from Minnesota—but that trail led nowhere. Without the possibility of DNA testing, the best shot of identifying “Sherry” Jane Doe is using her extremely accurate forensic art, and the details she shared of her life—and, perhaps, a daughter that ties her to South Carolina.  The Fall Line has commissioned new isolated forensic art of her teeth to share with the public in hopes that this information will aid in identification; you can see this image and all others associated with the case on our website.

In March of 1998, a homicide victim was recovered from Nashville’s Cumberland River, with nothing to indicate who she might be, and the best clue to her identity a “Leo” astrological charm; now, investigative genetic genealogy is the best path toward her name, but the trail has stopped short in an Alabama county, and investigators are seeking your help.

Roycinda Alexander thought that justice would come swiftly for her son, Darren Gray, who was murdered in public, in a city park, during his own child’s birthday party—but she soon discovered that the neighborhood she’d raised her family in began to feel like a land of strangers.   On May 8th, 2010, 24-year-old Darren Gray attended his child’s birthday party at a Norfolk-area public park; during the celebration, he was attacked by a group of men and endured a brutal beating that ended in his murder. Close to 13 years later, his mother and siblings have more questions than answers, and though some suspects were identified—and eventually, convicted—of Darren’s beating, his murderers remain at large.

This week, we take a deep dive into what it takes to construct an entirely new database--from the ground up--of a database that not only collects data on the missing and unidentified, but hopes to use that research to assist the communities least likely to receive resources, and most likely to remain unidentified after death. We analyze the construction of the new Mississippi Repository for the Missing and Unidentified, explore its unique “mapping” system for identifying clusters of the missing, and speak with its creators, two MSU professors, Drs. Jordan Lynton Cox and Jesse Goliath.
