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.

It’s a sad reality that area animal shelters and non-profit rescue organizations face constant overcrowding -- with so many dogs, cats and other animals waiting for a forever home. Jason Lamb reports here that Metro leaders are working with those groups – including Critter Cavalry – to find solutions. I’ve fostered a dog from Critter Cavalry, so I understand the need is great. And I found my pup Domino through another local group, Proverbs Animal Rescue. Ultimately, it starts with all of us. Getting more dogs and cats spayed or neutered can help control the pet population – and ease the burden.
