I just don't understand why he doesn't tell where he put Nichole. Why? So he can continue to lie and say he 'didn't do it'? This man has no redeeming qualities and deserves to rot in prison.

Nichole Nikki Burgess, 36, of Nashville was last heard from by text on the afternoon of Friday, May 23, 2014. She had plans to be in Sparta the next day but never arrived. Friends who checked her Oak Vale Drive home on May 25 found her car in the driveway with her purse inside, the house unusually messy, and her two dogs loose and without food or water.

Neighbors reported an unfamiliar car at her house the weekend she disappeared. A friend said they saw two people carrying something heavy from the back of the house in the early morning of May 24; one was identified as Caleb Cannon, the father of Nichole’s son. The couple’s then-10-year-old son told a friend he thought his father had killed his mother and that he might not see her again. Cadaver dogs alerted to the scent of human remains at Nichole’s home and in the trunk of Cannon’s vehicle; investigators also found empty cleaning-fluid bottles, bloodstained bedding, and brass knuckles in the home.

Caleb Cannon was arrested in October 2015, tried in May 2017, convicted of murdering Nichole Burgess, and sentenced to life in prison. Nichole’s body has not been recovered, leaving her family without a known resting place. Does anyone who knew Nichole or was in the Oak Vale Drive area in May 2014 have information that could help locate her remains?
