Who is in the Cumberland River?
On Dec. 28th 2009, I received a call from a man who was looking for a missing loved one. He explained to me that his uncle, Roger Dale Douglas, had been missing since Feb. 4th of 2006. I explained to him that I would need the rest of the day to look into what may have happen to his uncle and an area we could possibly search for him.
That night I went to sleep and began dreaming visions that I realized the next morning were things I had seen for the 2 weeks prior to him calling me. Not only was I dreaming of Roger Douglas, but I was seeing more than what I expected. Roger showed me that I needed to look for him in a river that was next to a dog park. (I will spare you the deep details that I saw of the area because there is a much bigger picture that needs to be told.) When Roger took me to the river once again in my dream, he showed me things about his body that would help validate who he was. I also began seeing other parts of bodies within the water. I couldnt quite understand what the message was until I saw Roger rise out of this river, and many others rose with him. I saw children, I saw women/men of different age and races. I kept saying to myself, “Oh my God, you are not alone!”
The next morning I quickly went to my computer and pulled up a map to type the address of the last known location of Roger. As I panned out a click on this map I saw a river that fit the description. I began a search of dog parks in Nashville, TN. The park I found was called Shelby Bottoms Park which was located right next to a river called the Cumberland River. I kept thinking to myself how I fell upon this too easily, but knew I needed to contact the family right away in order to have this area searched.
After I gave the family everything I had found, we then located a certified cadaver dog team to have a search done of this area. The search was conducted and many areas were hit on land. They tried to get the dogs into a boat and see what they would do, but because the boat was too small and the current was rough they had to get out. The short time they were in there the dogs did show strong interest in the water, meaning the dogs smelled human remains.
The woman who ran the search dog team told us she would contact the detective and let him know her findings but she never did. It was not until a month later when we made many phone calls to the detective that this would be communicated by this woman. Still, nothing was done by law enforcement for Roger. Even though the dogs had shown there was reason to believe human remains were within this water nothing was done.
The story goes on and on but what needs to be told now is a bigger story. If you look at the amount of cold cases within this city, you will find about 30 of them. Take a look at a lot of them and you will see that a big majority of them come up missing from the area of this river or from Shelby Park. Still no searches are being done for any of them. Why? There is the story of a little girl named Tabitha Tuders who came up missing from her school bus stop in 2003. The park was searched with dogs but when the searchers headed towards the water law enforcement called it off. They ruled Tabitha a runaway. Why? Today law enforcement is saying Tabitha was abducted, but WHY after 6 1/2 years of her being missing did this change? There is another woman who came up missing and her car was found in Shelby Park. Her car was taken for investigation, but again no search was done on the river next to the park. Why?
I understand that law enforcement is short handed and im sympathetic to the fact that money is tight everywhere. When the search for Roger happen with the cadaver dogs it was considered a training exercise. Those types of exercises require no money. Why cant we now have diving teams run an exercise in the Cumberland River? It would cost no money for the state unless something is found. I have tried telling this to law enforcement with the hopes they would allow a team in there to do such an exercise, but nothing has been done. How many people are in this river? Is it the 27 I saw or less? Maybe it is more. We will never know if there is even (1) until we have it searched.
What I have been shown is no longer about a “psychic detective” locating a missing person. This is about REAL EVIDENCE that there are many people who are coming up missing from this river and nothing is being done to find them. Just because others might not be able to see the souls that I see doesnt mean they are ok and we just wait for another day to find them. One of the most disturbing statements that was told to me was from one of Roger’s family members. He said that the woman who ran the dogs during the search said, “If there are bodies in that river they aint going anywhere. Time is on our side.” This makes me beyond ill! I cannot describe the pain I felt for Roger and his family when I heard these words. I guess she believed someone could keep on rotting down there because they were dead anyways.
I would like to now introduce you to the cold cases in the Nashville area. You can do your own research and see some of the stories of where these people were last seen. A lot of the names on this list you will not find much information on. For some reason they just are not shown out there for us to read about. When you read the stories that are out there, please dont judge. Just because someone comes up missing and had a rough past, doesn’t mean they are not someone special in the eyes of their family. Let’s keep our hearts open to all the men, and all the women, and most of all to the children.

I want it to be personally known that im not saying everyone on this list is in the Cumberland. Some of these cases im sure have a totally different situation going on. There might be a lot of people we are missing from this list that could or could not be in this river. Its just time to stand up and help clean this river up of whatever or whomever might be in there!
God bless everyone for your time in reading this! I can tell you personally that there are a lot of souls who are just as grateful for the time you are taking to care.

Hey Kelli,
Yes it definitely is about time. I have found a few names that are not on the list whom have went missing from that area.

Something needs to be done.

I can feel the pain of the ones that have lost a love one.Look at the facts,the river has mostly a flat rock bottom.The river at shelby park is not that wide nor any place in the county That is why there is no boat docks.Check the real water time data for USGS #034315005. It is near the park.The flow rate sometime will reach over 100.000 cubic feet per second somtimes.Having a home on the river I have seen large trees draging the bottom of the river at high flow rates.I think the person would be in Cheatham County,down from nashville where the river spreads out at the dam.The mussel divers that I have talk with over the years have said that in the summer with a low flow rate that they can see about 6 to 8 inches.The water level in the summer is about 16 to 18 ft in most places.The barges go up stream about 2 times a day.The coal ones that go to the steam plant draw about 10 Ft of water.If you watch the water at the edge of the bank when they go up stream they suck the bottom out of the river and the river sides.
Good Luck

Thank you so much for those facts! I did not have the information to give, so im glad someone could.
Where I was shown that a dive search needed to happen was where the railroad tracks cross over at Shelby Bottoms Park. There is about a 75 yard radius from there to a tiny boat dock down stream.
I have been told that there is a lot of junk in the Cumberland and im sure “something” is getting hung up in that area.
I have also been shown the dam that you spoke of, so I believe a search at the area I mentioned along with a search down at the dam needs to happen ASAP!
Many thanks for your input!
