Salena Marie Tackett, 25, vanished from her Hendersonville, Tennessee home on January 30, 2003, a week after marrying Tyrone N. Tackett. Her husband reported her missing January 31, saying he had fallen asleep and woke to find her gone. He told authorities Salena had taken a large sum of cash, reportedly over $60,000, yet her purse and car were left behind.

Salena was the mother of a two-year-old daughter shared with Tyrone and an eight-year-old son from a previous relationship. Friends and family said she frequently checked on her young daughter when left with a babysitter and would not likely abandon the children. In the days before her disappearance she expressed regret about the marriage, said she had made a mistake, and told loved ones she was afraid for her life; she reportedly asked Tyrone for an annulment the day she vanished. Neighbors described frequent arguments between the couple.

Investigators suspected foul play early on. In July 2011 Tyrone Tackett was arrested in Florida on solicitation to commit murder relating to an alleged 2003 plot, but that charge was dropped in March 2014 because the statute of limitations had expired.

Does anyone have information about Salena’s last day at the Secretariat Place home or contacts who might shed light on what happened?
