Update on missing person investigation

The Knoxville Police Department is continuing its investigation into the disappearance of Jefferson County woman, 48-year-old Tiffany Trull.

Trull, who is 5’2” and 148 pounds, was reported missing to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office on Friday, February 28. Since that day, there have been no confirmed sightings, nor have there been any substantive leads. The KPD has and will continue to pursue every viable lead until Trull is located.

Trull’s car was located at Cherokee Farms near Ft. Loudoun Lake. Based on everything known at this point, there is substantial reason to believe that Trull entered the water near the downtown area. Foul play is not suspected, but the investigation remains ongoing.

There have been no active searches since the search was suspended on Wednesday, March 4. Over the weekend of February 29-March 1, Knox County emergency responders completed an extensive search of the Tennessee River, which included resources from the Knox County Sheriff’s Office aviation unit, TWRA, KFD, KSCO and Blount County boat units, and the KPD search and rescue team.

The KPD is continuing to ask for anyone who owns property along the Tennessee River to check their docks, boathouses, property lines, banks and outbuildings that have not been recently checked. Additionally, if anyone has any video that captures any part of the Tennessee River, please review that video to see if it could provide any assistance in the investigation.

If anyone has any information relevant to the case, they are urged to call 865-215-7317 or message the KPD on Facebook at KnoxvillePD. Tipsters can remain anonymous.
