Stacey Michelle Kennedy, 52, was last confirmed seen in Nashville on November 29, 2021, when a Metropolitan Nashville officer spoke with her near Lilly Valley Way; that encounter was recorded on the officer’s body-worn camera. Investigators later traced her last known financial activity to a bank card transaction at the Belle Meade Kroger on Harding Pike on December 14, which is the final publicly reported sign of her movements.

Stacey had moved from Kingston to Nashville in 2015 seeking treatment for substance use and was living unhoused by 2021. Family members say her behavior grew erratic when she stopped taking needed medication. She was described as 4 feet 11 inches, with shoulder-length brown-and-gray hair and green eyes; she was last seen in jeans, a blue hooded sweatshirt, and carrying a bright blue sleeping bag.

Police searched West Nashville areas she frequented and followed leads from outreach contacts and financial and phone records, but ordinary indicators stopped after the December 14 transaction and no confirmed answers emerged. If anyone saw Stacey after mid-December 2021 or has information about her whereabouts, contact the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department or Crime Stoppers.
