Rhonda Marcella Daugherty, 49, was last seen at her Coolidge-area home near LaFollette, Tennessee, on December 2, 2014. Her husband saw her that morning and when he returned about 6:00 p.m. she was gone. The back door was open but there were no reported signs of forced entry or a struggle; her car, purse, keys and cell phone remained at the house. Family described the disappearance as out of character for a mother and Sunday school teacher.

The Campbell County Sheriff’s Office and later the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation investigated. Attention turned to Lonnie Lee Vann, who was wanted for a separate armed robbery and later arrested in South Carolina. Authorities developed information identifying Vann as responsible for Rhonda’s kidnapping and death; he was charged and ultimately convicted after pleading guilty to second-degree murder, kidnapping and tampering with evidence. No confirmed recovery location for Rhonda’s remains has been publicly reported, and she remains listed in NamUs (MP61691), with family DNA samples on file.

Does anyone have information about Rhonda’s whereabouts or recall seeing her vehicle or the area around the LaFollette residence in early December 2014?
