Summary

What happened, as the record shows.

Tabitha Tuders, 13, vanished the morning of April 29, 2003, while walking to her school bus stop at 14th and Boscobel Streets in East Nashville, Tennessee. She never boarded the bus and never arrived at school. A young witness reported seeing a girl matching her description get into a red car. The FBI offers a $50,000 reward. A false tip in 2015 and a 2020 search of a Bon Aqua property yielded nothing. No one has ever been charged.
