Circumstances of Disappearance

Cayce McDaniel was last seen in Milan, Tennessee on August 16, 1996. Cayce arrived at her residence after attending a church party on August 16, 1996. A chaperon dropped her off at home and watched her go into the house.

Later when her family members arrived home at approximately 01:30 a.m. - 02:00 a.m., they found the back door of their house wide open, and no sign of Cayce. Cayce's bedroom TV was on, the clothes she'd worn to the social were out like she'd already gotten ready for bed, a bowl of cookies and milk were sitting on the floor, there were no signs of a struggle. Foul play is suspected.

In 2022, Finis Ewin 'Pete' Hill, entered a plea in exchange for a 15 year sentence for her murder.
