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.
