Five years after the unexplained disappearance of Nashvillian Wanda Faye Walker, the MNPD and the FBI are teaming together in a renewed push for answers.
Wanda, who was 60 at the time of her disappearance, was last seen leaving her residence in the 1400 block of 11th Avenue South in Nashville on October 4, 2016. She had been residing there with her cousin. After three days of not being able to find Wanda, a mother and a grandmother, her family reported her missing to police.
Wanda was an employee of the local Dollar Tree store and had missed two days of work, which was unlike her. Her car was located one week later in the 1000 block of Wade Avenue. It contained many of her personal belongings that she would have taken with her had she simply run away. The car also contained evidence of a struggle and it is believed that Wanda had a physical confrontation with someone that she knew. This person then drove Wanda’s car to the location on Wade Avenue and left it in that area because of their familiarity with the location. Also located inside the car was a significant amount of privet, a flowering shrubbery type plant.
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in this case.
