Detectives with the Collegedale Police Department connected the disappearance of a 56-year-old man to an 18-year-old, who now faces several charges, including criminal homicide.

Police said that on June 9, someone reported that Neal “had told her that he had killed someone, but they were a rapist and missing, and that he disposed of the body,” the affidavit stated.

Detectives found traces of missing 56-year-old XXXXXXXXX’s DNA in Kian Andrew Neal’s vehicle, according to an affidavit from Collegedale
Police.

Authorities found Locke’s DNA in several areas of the vehicle, along with a knife, pillow and sawhorses. On June 12, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation confirmed blood to be on one of the items from the vehicle.

According to the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry, the victim, XXXXXXXX, was a registered sex offender. He was convicted of child molestation in 2003.

    Put that piece of s*** murderer on Ohio death row! I doubt the district attorney’s office will be that emboldened to seek the death penalty in this case.

    Is it me or are these stories becoming more commonplace than before? How many murdered people on the registry does it take to make a rational change to the law.

    One reason I am glad, I do not own any of my vehicles. They are reported just not visible to the public.
