Marsilene Smith, 69, vanished from Murfreesboro, Tennessee after leaving home on Village Green on December 6, 2007 for Christmas shopping. She was last seen that afternoon wearing a beige t-shirt, a blue jean jacket, blue jeans and black ankle boots, and wore two gold and diamond rings. Marsilene was an insulin-dependent diabetic and had a small, dime-sized birthmark on her forehead.

The morning after she disappeared her champagne-colored Lincoln Navigator was found in a Walmart parking lot with the keys in the ignition and the passenger door open. Store surveillance recorded a man at 2:30 p.m. exiting the vehicle, removing a bright green girl’s bicycle from the back and riding away; the bicycle was not recognized by family. A few days later Marsilene’s cell phone was recovered off Barfield Crescent Road.

Suspicion later focused on her husband, Palmer Smith, who stopped cooperating with police and was convicted of tampering with evidence and making false statements in the years after the disappearance; he was not charged in connection with Marsilene’s vanishing. Her remains have never been found and the investigation remains active.

If anyone saw Marsilene, the Navigator, or the green bicycle around December 6, 2007, please share what was observed.
