Three-month-old Zaylee Grace Fryar was last seen in Millersville, Tennessee, around May 1, 2011, when she vanished with her mother, 28-year-old Shauna Marie Fryar. The infant is described as biracial with black hair and brown eyes. Shauna and Zaylee had moved into the home of Shauna’s estranged husband, Michael Fryar, just days before they disappeared. Michael told police he left to go to the store and returned to find them gone. Shauna’s car, wallet, cell phone, and Zaylee’s diaper bag were all left at the house. Because Shauna had a history of disappearing for days, Michael did not report them missing until May 5. Shauna’s body was recovered from the Cumberland River near downtown Nashville on May 6 and identified May 10; her remains were badly decomposed and showed obvious injuries. No trace of Zaylee has been found.

Investigators later reclassified Shauna’s death as a homicide after new forensic evidence in 2015. Michael Fryar, who had a history of violence and gave inconsistent statements, was a primary suspect but was never charged and has since died. Zaylee’s biological father, Thurman McMurry, was incarcerated at the time and was not considered a suspect. It remains unknown whether Zaylee is deceased or alive. If anyone has information about Zaylee’s whereabouts or remembers seeing her or Shauna in early May 2011, please come forward.
