Melissa Moores was pronounced dead at the scene by nashville fire department emergency workers. She had been stabbed to death. While detectives were interviewing the daughter she noticed that her mother’s car was missing.
Detectives are trying to find out what happened during the hours shortly before Melissa Moores’ death and who she was with.
On October 17th Melissa Moores’ light blue, 1989 Chrysler New Yorker was found by police parked in east Nashville on North Ninth Street near the intersection of Marina Street.
