SMITHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Two years later, the body of a missing woman in DeKalb County was found last weekend by two hunters in a wooded area.

Brittany Miller, 31, went missing two and a half years ago. Her body was discovered in an area off of Man Hill Road in the Snow Hill community, Sheriff Patrick Ray said.

Miller went missing on July 4, 2022.

There were several search efforts in the community around her home, with no trace of Miller. But her body was found more than a mile across Highway 70 from her home.

The state medical examiner confirmed the identity through medical records and Miller's family has been notified. There is no word at this point on how Miller died.

Now, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation will handle the death investigation.

Fundraising underway for Tina Turner statue to be placed in Brownsville park

Fundraising efforts are underway in Brownsville and Nutbush, TN to build a statue for a major superstar who was raised there, Anna Mae Bullock. You probably know her by her stage name, Tina Turner. I was a huge fan of Tina and glad to see efforts are underway to showcase more of her ties to West Tennessee.
