In an effort to bring attention to those who have vanished from our midst, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has turned to social media highlighting the case of Asher New, a young individual reported missing from Davidson County since September 8th, 2025. Described as 5'6" in height and weighing 120 lbs., with black hair and brown eyes, the TBI continues to seek the public's assistance in locating Asher. The agency issued a reminder for this week's #MissingMonday via a Facebook post, urging anyone with information to step forward.
Harnessing the reach of digital platforms, not just for engagement but for community vigilance, the TBI's post served as a beacon, hoping to cut through the noise of the online world to reach someone who, maybe unknowingly, bears witness. "If you have seen Asher or have information regarding his whereabouts, please contact the Metro Nashville Police Department at 615-862-8600 or TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND," the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation appealed, focused on galvanizing citizen action in the face of uncertainty.
The initiative of #MissingMonday is integral to the TBI's ongoing strategy to spotlight juveniles who have disappeared under ambiguous circumstances, all of whom carry the unenviable designation of 'at-risk' or are believed to have voluntarily vacated the safety of their known environments. These are the young souls whose stories are precariously tethered to the hope that public dissemination brings them home. Posted on November 25th, 2025, the digital plea for Asher's case unearths a somber reminder: our communities are incomplete when even one member remains unaccounted for.
The public plays a critical role – as eyes and ears in places where law enforcement cannot always reach, their vigilance is indispensable. In their daily migrations, someone might spot Asher, the youth with the dark hair and searching brown eyes, perhaps recognizing in an instant that they are beholding more than a face in the crowd; they are witnessing a chance at a safe return. It is this collective responsibility and mindfulness that the TBI hopes to invoke with their call to action, delivered through the conduit of a Facebook appeal.
