The police were told by the manager there was no tenant with that name.

For four months there was no sign of the teen. Her body was found November 29, 1970. She had likely died the day she disappeared. A man and his two sons were hiking on Otis Road when they came across the remains of someone in a light blue dress.  He body had gotten stuck on a steel pin that was probably a power pole guy wire. It would had been likely if the body hadn't gotten stuck it would had washed up on the road and been found sooner.

Her hands and feet had been tied behind her back with clothes line and another . Her cause of death is unknown, but she could had died from a soft tissue injury, poisoning, asphyxiation or a combination of these. If she had died in the position she was found she may have died from respiratory embarrassment, or exposure or the combination of the two.There were no fetal remains found.

The Murder of Glenda Marie Sirmans

Two days after Thanksgiving on Saturday, November 29, 1969 Glenda Sirmans decided to take a 20 minute walk to a friends house to work on homework. The 13 year old left her home in Knoxville Tennessee at 3:30 pm. Two neighbors had seen her leave.

Around 5 p.m. the friend she was supposed to be with called her home. The family realized something was wrong. Neighbors and her mother searched for her. They then called the police when their search was fruitless.

Glenda was described as shy, reserved, studious and always called her parents to let them know where she was. She was hard to get to know, but once you knew her she was easy to talk with. She had talked about running away the summer before, but not since then. Her parents had hope that she had ran away to family's members home, but their hopes were dashed two weeks later.

In December Dogs playing with pieces of clothing caught people's eyes. What they found was Glenda's nude body. The only thing they could find out was that her throat had been slashed, and she may have been dead since the day she disappeared. Authorities were unable to find out if she was sexually assaulted due to animals mutilating her body after death. She was found around 6 miles away from her home.
