About this listen

 A treasured pediatrician from Tennessee spends the night out at an NBA basketball game. She calls her mom from the game and mentions to her that she isn’t feeling well. After she gets home, she hosts a couple of girlfriends at her place to finish out the evening as a quiet night in before heading to bed. What happens to her after they leave her home is a mystery, but her family began to worry when she wasn’t around early the next morning to babysit her sister’s children, something she was scheduled to do and would never miss. In the days following, alarming clues would point to her meeting with foul play and circumstantial evidence would cast suspicion and shift public opinion on those closest to her. Still, almost everything in her case is surrounded by mystery. She was known to love jigsaw puzzles, meticulously working on them and then gluing and framing the finished product to display. A puzzle seems like the perfect metaphor for this case, with little pieces everywhere, that all must fit together somehow but that authorities and her loved ones have not been able to connect at this point. Is the mysterious phone call to her house at 1:58 AM the missing piece?

TIPS:Bartlett Police Department at (901) 385-5555.
