SUMMARY: In 1979, 21-year-old Nashville mother Gail Norris was found murdered, stabbed multiple times. This cold case has remained unsolved for decades until recently, when Detective Weaver was contacted by her family, suggesting a possible connection to infamously convicted serial killer Samuel Little, who confessed to numerous murders. Despite the lack of direct evidence linking him to Gail’s case, the detective is revisiting the investigation, which had been dormant since 1979. A notable clue found near her body was an insurance pamphlet. The Nashville Cold Case website, launched last month, aims to gather information and potentially revive interest in solving this enduring mystery.

Anyone with information about the case should email mnpdcoldcase@nashville.gov.

While programs like the Hope Scholarship and Tennessee Promise provide support, their value has diminished due to inflation, covering only 50% and acting as a last-dollar aid for community colleges. Additionally, around 30% of students face food insecurity, and rising housing costs have led institutions to lease external accommodations to address shortages.
