Janice Marie Peters, 54, vanished from Nashville on April 13, 2018. A Nashville native and the youngest of five sisters, Janice had been experiencing homelessness and spent time at the Nashville Rescue Mission while also staying with a boyfriend on Claiborne Street. The last known sighting was the evening she disappeared after an argument with that boyfriend about her wanting to go out to buy beer at three in the morning; she left their residence and was not seen again.

Her sister Wanda filed a missing person report a few months later when Janice stopped making her regular calls and visits, including a missed birthday call that was out of character. Investigators say tracking Janice has been difficult because she had no driver’s license or permanent address, and accounts from people in the homeless community conflict about when she was last seen. The Metro Police cold case unit asks anyone who remembers seeing Janice after April 2018, including friends or the boyfriend at the time, to come forward with information.
