NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, USA – MARCH 24, 1976 Body of an unidentified girl, approximately 14 to 17 years old, was found in the Harpeth River near Nashville. She died by drowning, but bruises, abrasions, and the circumstances of the discovery raised suspicions that it may have been murder. The girl had dark hair, a mole on her left temple, and old scars on her arms.
Investigators discovered that before her death, she had been hitchhiking with another young girl, a white girl with blonde hair and glasses. They claimed they had run away from a treatment facility in the northern United States and were heading to Haines City. In the victim’s pocket was a photograph with the inscription “Little Charley,” which led police to a man who remembered giving both girls a ride. The unidentified victim may have used the name Sherry or Cheryl.
Even though police obtained fingerprints, dental records, and a facial reconstruction, her identity remains unknown nearly 50 years later. The fate of the second girl, who was never found, also remains a mystery.
