The investigation into the disappearance of an 85-year-old woman who was last seen in the Nashville area continues. Authorities are hopeful that someone in Middle Tennessee may have seen her.

Lucy Buchanan, who has dementia, was last seen leaving her apartment in the 2100 block of Buena Vista Pike in Nashville on November 24th (the Wednesday before Thanksgiving) at 10:11 a.m. About 15 minutes later she is seen walking by the Walgreens at 3130 Clarksville Pike.

While the woman is known to have frequented the Walgreens near her home, she is originally from Lincoln County, Tennessee. Because she has reportedly gotten into vehicles of people she did not know and has received rides home in the past, it is not known if anyone gave her a ride outside of the Nashville area?

Her family reports last speaking to her on her cell phone on the morning of November 29, 2021. Her phone was turned off or ran out of battery that afternoon. During a check of her apartment, nothing was missing or seemed out of place.
