Martha Leanne Green
Martha Leanne Green, 17, was one day away from prom night at Dickson County High School when she disappeared on April 15, 1987. She and her twin brother were driving down Highway 46 near I-40 when their car ran out of gas about a half-mile down the road.
Her brother went to get gas and she decided to stay with the car. When he got back to the car nine minutes later, she was gone. In a 2021 interview, Cheatham County Sheriff Mike Breedlove, who worked for the TBI at the time, said police were “pretty sure” it was a “stranger abduction.”
However, even though there were witnesses, followed by searches and possible suspects identified over the years, detectives never found Green. Breedlove said over 1,000 leads were run, and three suspected serial murderers or rapists were confirmed in the area that night.
Green, who was described as 5’6″ tall with brown hair and brown eyes, was last seen wearing a white shirt, faded blue jeans and white tennis shoes. She would be 52 today.
