After midnight on February 27, 1982, local boxing manager Ace Miller would look for 63-year-old Fred "Spike" Bailey at the Golden Gloves Boxing Arena in Knoxville, Tennessee but he was nowhere to be seen. a 1974 pickup truck, a 38-caliber revolver, and $700 in cash were also missing.
Around 9am his body was found in a portable storage trailer behind the arena. He had been beaten to death with an object, likely a hammer.
At the time Fred was working as a security guard for the arena. It's possible that his death was related to the thefts happening at the arena.
