GILES COUNTY, TN (WTVF) — More than 100 people in the Giles County community came together to find an 82-year-old woman who has been missing since Tuesday.

Wednesday, community members searched near streams, creeks, and steep terrain near Pulaski for Caulyne Cross. Investigators tell us the 82-year-old was last seen at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday wearing a pink pajama top with red pants.

She has a medical condition that can make returning home safely a challenge for her.

Crews have worked tirelessly throughout the night, and search operations are set to continue this morning.

Law enforcement says the community’s involvement in bringing her home is crucial. They're asking anyone who has information that can help find her to contact the Giles County Sheriff's office.

They say the smallest tip could make a world's difference in helping to find her.

Blind woman entertains assisted living neighbors, plays seven instruments

“I’ve never met anyone like Tennie.”

That’s how one neighbor at Stones River Manor in Murfreesboro describes Tennie Fitzpatrick, who has mastered as many as seven different musical instruments. Each day, Tennie shares those talents with residents, workers and visitors. It’s an ability Tennie herself believes is “a gift from God.” That’s because Tennie is blind, and overcame a difficult, abusive childhood.  Forrest Sanders shares this truly inspirational story.
