Metro Nashville police are asking for the public’s help finding 31-year-old Conor Anderson of Colorado, who has not been seen or heard from since early Sunday morning.
Detectives with the Missing Persons Unit say the case has raised concern because of how abruptly Anderson’s trail went cold after a strange encounter on the street.
Anderson traveled to Nashville on Saturday for a work conference and checked into the Millennium Maxwell House hotel. He was reportedly in good spirits when he arrived, with no indication that anything was wrong before the night took an unusual turn.
A Suspicious Encounter Near Woodland and Main
Around 1 a.m. Sunday, Anderson approached two East Precinct officers who happened to be driving through the Woodland and Main Street area of East Nashville. He told them he had just given two men he did not know 20 dollars, expecting them to show him around the neighborhood. Instead, the men reportedly took the cash and left.
Officers offered to file a formal report on the incident, but that would have required Anderson to hand over his driver’s license, which he declined to do.
Without a report on file, police had limited information to go on once Anderson disappeared. Before parting ways, officers suggested he call a rideshare to get back to his hotel safely, and he agreed to do so. That conversation is the last confirmed contact anyone has had with him.
Detectives Reviewing Surveillance Footage and Records
Since Sunday, investigators have been working to reconstruct Anderson’s movements. That effort includes pulling surveillance video from businesses and cameras around the area where he was last seen, along with checking his phone activity and bank records for any clues about where he might have gone.
So far, police have not said whether the rideshare he mentioned to officers ever picked him up or where it might have dropped him off. It also remains unclear whether the two men who took his money have been identified or located.
Family, friends, and coworkers back in Colorado are reportedly anxious for news, and conference organizers are said to be cooperating with investigators as the search continues.
Metro Nashville police are urging anyone who may have seen Anderson, interacted with him, or has any information about his whereabouts to come forward. Tips can be submitted by calling the department’s main line at 615 862 8600.
As of Wednesday, no additional updates had been released, and the case remains open and active. Police say they will continue working leads from the surveillance footage and financial records in hopes of locating Anderson safely.
