In Nashville, Tennessee, the family of 54-year-old Janice Marie Peters holds onto hope for answers in her disappearance, which dates back to April 13, 2018. A Nashville native and the youngest of five sisters, Janice was known for her sweet and outgoing personality, always being there for those who needed her. Despite battling substance abuse for most of her life, those who knew her remember her as a kind person. At the time she went missing, Janice was experiencing homelessness and had been staying at the Nashville Rescue Mission. She was also living with her boyfriend on Claiborne Street. The last known sighting of Janice was on the evening she vanished, following an argument with her boyfriend. The disagreement reportedly began when she wanted to go out to buy beer at three in the morning, and he tried to dissuade her. Janice left their residence and was never seen or heard from again. A couple of months after her disappearance, her sister, Wanda, filed a missing person report when Janice's regular phone calls and visits ceased, a silence that was especially concerning as she never missed calling on her sister's birthday. The investigation into Janice's disappearance has been fraught with challenges. With no driver's license or permanent address, tracking her movements has been incredibly difficult for law enforcement. Interviews conducted with other individuals in the homeless community who knew Janice have yielded conflicting accounts of the last time she was seen. Her family remains steadfast in their search for peace and closure, pleading for anyone, including old friends or her boyfriend at the time, to come forward with any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem. The Metro Police Department's cold case unit continues to seek information from the public, hoping that someone who remembers seeing her after April of 2018 will step forward and provide the crucial detail that could help resolve this case.
