A fisherman discovered the victim's body in the Harpeth River in Davidson County, Tennessee on March 24, 1976. She was located mere hours after her death. She was approx. in her late teen. I think a little older.
The victim, believed to be Native American, or possibly Hispanic, was found just after 17.00, March 24, 1976, about 200 yards from a bridge on McCrory Creek Road, downstream from a recreational area and near the border of Cheatham County.
The victim, possibly named Sherry or Cheryl, had a photograph of a young blond-haired boy in her back pocket.
An autopsy showed she had sexual intercourse within a few days of her death, but it was not known whether she was raped.
A man claimed he and his brother-in-law, who both lived in Nashville at the time, saw the victim 10 days before she was found in the river. He said he and his relative picked up the victim and her friend, a slender blond woman, as the two hitchhiked from Nashville.
The two, the man claimed, had run away from a mental hospital in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and were headed to Haines City, Florida, to see the blond woman's husband. I am further researching this case. I want to know what mental hospitals were in St. Paul at that time. www.doenetwork.org/cases/37uftn.html
