Case History
On March 6, 2000, two fishermen found the nude body of this
victim female floating in Melton Lake in Oak Ridge, TN. Melton
Lake is in Anderson County Tennessee. It is a reservoir of the
Clinch River, and is located in the Tennessee Valley Authority
area. Based solely on the natural flow of the river, police
believe the victim went into the water approximately a quarter
mile upstream, in neighboring Knox County.
The victim may have disappeared around February of 2000. She may
have had a reason to be at the Clinche River around this time.
It is possible she could have been a victim of a kidnapping.

Woman's body found in lake
by Beverly Majors
Oak Ridger staff
Oak Ridge police today are investigating a possible murder after
two fishermen found the body of a woman floating on Melton Hill
Lake.
Oak Ridge Police Capt. Bill Moehl said this morning that police
recovered the body of a woman about two miles downstream from
Clark Center Park.
"The body was floating but was underneath the bank near the
shoreline," he said. "It was partially decomposed but pretty
much intact."
Moehl said that after the fishermen saw the body at about 2:30
p.m. Monday, they went to Clark Center Park and called police.
They stayed at the dock until Officers Ron Andrus and Rich
Parker arrived and then took the officers to the site.
Moehl said the body is that of a woman possibly under the age of
30.
"We are guessing she was fairly young but it's really hard to
tell. She had no clothing, no jewelry, no tattoos, basically no
identification," he said. "There was no obvious cause of death.
We are checking with missing persons nationwide to get a match."
He said police began checking missing persons reports locally
Monday night and "got some preliminary hits."
Cleland Blake, forensic pathologist, will perform an autopsy
today to give police more information, Moehl said.
"It appears to be a white female but we aren't ready to say that
positively," he said.
He said the body had been in the water for at least several
weeks.
Police today were to extend their search for clues and check
campsites and other public areas farther upstream toward the
park, he said.
"We may be able to narrow the search and criteria down more," he
said.
He said police will treat the case as a homicide until proven
otherwise.
Moehl said several officers were involved in body recovery
efforts. ORPD has a large boat that can carry equipment and
about 10 officers.
"But, actually, we took the body off from land," he said.
Police were able to drive to the scene by going onto Department
of Energy property and accessing a road near the swimming area
of the park. The area where the body was found is called Bull
Bluff and is between the park and the Graphite Reactor at Oak
Ridge National Laboratory.
