At approximately 1 a.m., Anderson reportedly approached two officers assigned to the East Precinct near Woodland and Main streets. Police said he told officers that he had given two unidentified men $20 to show him around the neighborhood, but the men allegedly left with his money. Anderson reportedly declined to provide his driver’s license to make an official report. Officers encouraged him to use a rideshare service to return to his hotel, and he agreed. However, authorities say he has not been located since.
Detectives from the department’s Missing Persons Unit are continuing to investigate his disappearance. Investigators are reviewing available surveillance footage and examining Anderson’s phone and financial records in an effort to establish his movements after he left the area. Police have not indicated that Anderson’s disappearance is connected to a specific crime, and the investigation remains ongoing.
Authorities are asking members of the public to remain alert and provide any information that could help investigators determine Anderson’s whereabouts. Anyone who may have seen Anderson or knows where he may be is encouraged to contact the Metro Nashville Police Department at 615-862-8600.
The search remains active as detectives work to reconstruct Anderson’s movements and locate him safely. His family, friends, and colleagues are awaiting information as authorities continue their efforts to find him. Anyone with potentially relevant information is urged to contact police rather than speculate about his disappearance, as investigators work to establish the facts surrounding the case.
