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.

    Am I the only one that noticed?
    This article starts out with “OH.”, supposedly inferring the state of Ohio. However, the story talks about Collegedale, which is what caught my eye, and when I read on, it was about Collegedale Tennessee; 18 miles from where I live in Cleveland Tennessee ..
    This is really surprising to me because Southeast Tennessee is usually fairly laid back and quiet .. I’m certainly going to do some more research on this story and Mr. Kian Andrew Neal .. I have been out of prison for 13 years .. The Lord has blessed me tremendously with family and friends that still love me, regardless .. Six years later I was able to buy my childhood home and take care of my elderly mother .. My daughter lives with us now and she helps take care of both of us, and the house .. And, my neighbors, who moved in across the street 11 years ago, after a few years of getting to know me, have told me they don’t care who I was in the past, they see me for who I am now .. 🥲 .. And they have told me that they would trust me with their children .. I’m not EVER going to test that statement though .. They are Christian people as well .. What friends I have lost over the years have been made up by friends I have made since being out .. They ALL KNOW about my past and don’t care .. Many have thanked me for telling them before we became HUGE friends and said that that helped them to accept me better because of my honesty .. Like I have stated, the Lord has blessed me tremendously since I have been out; and quite frankly, he blessed me while I was incarcerated (that’s another story by itself) ..
