Investigation by the police department’s Cold Case Unit has led to the indictment of two brothers for the murder six years ago of a woman found dead in Crieve Hall.
Sonny Lee Daly, 43, and Roger Eugene Daly, 44, are charged with first-degree murder in the death of Dallie Marlene Bowden, 28, whose body was found in her burning car on May 29, 2001, in the 5000 block of Briarwood Drive. During the course of the investigation, Cold Case Detective Lee Freeman determined that the brothers took part in strangling Bowden as the result of a drug dispute and set her car on fire. Bowden and the Daly brothers lived in different parts of Nashville and had no known connection to the Crieve Hall neighborhood.
Since March 2005, the Cold Case Unit has cleared a total of 22 older homicide cases, 19 by arrest and three by exception (the suspects identified in those three cases are deceased).
