NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Police arrested a man overnight Friday in connection with the death of a woman who went missing in Nashville in early 2024.
Miles Williams, 39, has been charged with second-degree murder for the death of Emily Bradley, 44. She was found in early March in the Whites Creek area off of Buena Vista Pike. Her cause of death was blunt force trauma, according to the medical examiner's office.
Leading up to finding Bradley, friends and family went on a massive search to locate her. At the time, her friends told NewsChannel 5 they found her emotional support dog alone with the heater running.
The investigation revealed Bradley was last seen with Williams, who was her boyfriend. Police said Williams refused to speak with detectives but made statements that he had ingested narcotics before his arrest.
He was transported to General Hospital and will be booked on the murder indictment upon his release.

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
