Olivette Lyvonia Turner, known as Ollie, was 30 when she vanished after a phone call on May 1, 1989. She spoke to her sister from Nashville around 5:00 PM and said she was on her way to her sister’s house but never arrived; that was the last time the family heard from her. Olivette lived on Sunnyview Drive in Nashville, did not own a vehicle, and was described as a Black female with red or auburn hair, brown eyes, 5 feet 4 inches tall and 110–120 pounds. She was last seen wearing a sweatshirt and blue jeans.

Family members believed she might have been planning to visit or move to an aunt in Philadelphia, but the aunt was unaware of any plans and was not expecting her. Olivette was known to hitchhike, often with truck drivers, and investigators noted her frequenting truck stops as an important line of inquiry. Her sister reported her missing to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department on May 17, 1989, after more than two weeks with no contact.

If anyone knew Olivette, saw her around Nashville on May 1, 1989, or remembers her traveling through truck stops, please come forward with information.
