Nashville Firefighter Still Missing, Homes Searched

WAVERLY, TN -- Humphreys County sheriff's deputies executed search warrants Friday on two homes connected to missing Nashville firefighter Jesse Reed, as efforts to locate the 32-year-old who drove into the Tennessee River Monday continue.

Deputies, assisted by agents from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, searched a home in Humphreys County and another in Cheatham County. Reed had lived at both homes, according to Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis.

"I feel that it would be irresponsible of me to not exhaust all means possible in our efforts to attempt to locate Mr. Reed," Davis told The Tennessean. "We have no evidence to indicate that he is not still in this water."

Investigators believe Reed's truck entered the water about 1:30 a.m. Monday. Deputies found the vehicle already submerged and Reed's wife out of the water.

Dive crews located the truck around noon Monday, but Reed was not inside. Exhaustive searches of the river have yet to turn up his body or other evidence.
