SUMMARY: The Tennessee Department of Transportation warns of “hundreds of millions in damage” and extended closures in the eastern state following Hurricane Helene.

Governor Bill Lee, who declared a statewide emergency after the storm, described the damage as “horrific.” He is awaiting a major disaster declaration from President Biden, who has already approved assistance for various Georgia counties affected by the storm.

Serial killer could be tied to Nashville cold case
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.
