Mayme H. Johnson, an 85-year-old Nashville historian and author, disappeared from her Bosley Springs Road apartment on the morning of June 12, 2000. Her son woke about 6:30 a.m. to find her gone; a maintenance worker gave the last confirmed sighting at about 6:30 a.m., reporting she wore a pink blouse and pink pants. At the time she was five feet five inches tall, about 120 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes.

Johnson was in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, a factor that increased concern because it could have affected her memory and orientation. Metropolitan Nashville Police opened an investigation but the case grew cold after searches and public appeals produced no trace. There were no immediate signs of foul play, and her disappearance is classified as endangered missing.

Mayme Johnson was known locally for A Treasury of Tennessee Churches, which underscored her role preserving regional history. Her family and the community have had no answers for over two decades. If anyone saw Mayme on June 12, 2000, or has information about her movements that morning, please come forward.
