Officials in Clarksville said they’re searching for three people believed to possibly be in Nashville.
On Friday, authorities with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said they have developed information stating 31-year-old Thomas Christopher Nelson may be in Davidson County with 32-year-old Tabitha Love Kestner and 34-year-old Randell Lee Bowman.

It's believed both Nelson and Bowman may have weapons. Officials said they're being considered armed and dangerous.
Officials said they had been looking for a maroon Ford Excursion with a possible temporary tag. That was the vehicle Nelson was last seen in. On Friday afternoon, officials confirmed the Excursion had been found abandoned near Lafayette Road in Clarksville. It has been seized by the sheriff's office.
Reports stated they could be traveling in a maroon or red 2003 Jeep Cherokee with a Tennessee license plate number Y2647W.
