On March 6, 2000, two fishermen found the nude body of a female floating in Melton Lake in Oak Ridge, TN. Melton Lake is in Anderson County, Tennessee. It is a reservoir in the Clinch River, and is located in the Tennessee Valley Authority area. Based solely on the natural flow of the river, police believe the victim went into the water approximately a quarter mile upstream, in neighboring Knox County. The victim may have disappeared around February 2000. It is possible she could have been a victim of a kidnapping.
