A New Yorker who vanished while on a work trip in Nashville before being found dead was discovered by a team of private investigators less than five hours after they had been hired by his family.
Conor Anderson’s body was found in a woodline adjacent to a parking lot last Thursday near Nashville’s James Robertson Parkway – four days after he was last seen.
The 31-year-old’s cause of death still remains unknown, but new details have emerged relating to how his body was finally discovered.
Anderson’s family hired Covert Results – a private investigative firm – to aid with the search effort, the organization said.
Investigators tried to retrace Anderson’s steps – first heading to the area of Nashville where he was last seen, before reviewing surveillance footage and speaking with witnesses.
They spoke with “unhoused individuals” who “regularly spend time in the area,” which led them to search near the James Robertson Parkway.
Anderson, who was from Huntington, New York, but lived in Colorado, was found in a “heavily wooded and difficult to access area” just before 6 p.m. Thursday, less than five hours after the PI firm had been hired.
