What Tennessee's Missing-Person Listings Show

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation cautions that its public missing-person listings do not include everyone missing in the state and cover varied circumstances, including children who have left home on their own. The listings therefore do not provide a complete count of missing people in Tennessee, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.

The department has not released further details about the search.
