Nashville Police Name Woman Who Was Shot in the Head and Pulled From the Cumberland River 26 Years Ago
It has been 26 years since the body of a woman with two gunshot wounds to the head was found in the Cumberland River.
The woman was identified as Diane Minor, who is 54 years old, by the Metro Nashville Police Department, Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy, Bode Lab, the DNA Doe Project, and other groups.
Major was taken out of the Cumberland River on March 18, 1998, near Cleese Ferry.
Because she wore a collar with a Leo sign on it, people called her “Leo Jane Doe.”
It was last known that Minor worked as a manager at Nashville’s Second Story Café in the early 1990s. There was no report of her missing made.
Detectives from the MNPD’s cold case murder unit are looking into the case. Anyone who knows anything should call Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463.
