Family wants closure after Nashville mother is missing for 30 years​

Almost 30 years after a Nashville mother walked out of a fast food restaurant and disappeared, her family is still waiting for answers.

On August 19, 1992, Metro Nashville Police Department officers said Pamela Mitchell went to the Krystal on West Trinity Lane and Dickerson Pike in Nashville to get something to eat. The 35-year-old ran into someone she knew, got into the car with him and left the restaurant. It was the last time anyone saw her.

"I think at this point we have to assume foul play was involved," said Detective Matthew Filter, with the Metro Nashville Police Department. "She has been missing this long, and has had no contact with family at all."

Filter said Mitchell lived along Dickerson Road and hung out in the area where she disappeared. He believed there are people in the area who know what happened to her.

"Even if they don’t have any direct knowledge of what happen to her, just some of the information about her habits, and her life in general might help us, or lead us in the right direction," Filter said.

Karen Gifford, who is Mitchell's sister-in-law, said Mitchell had become involved in drugs and prostitution and the wrong crowd. However, the mother of two had an outgoing personality and loved her family.

"I'm still hopeful answers will come," said Gifford. "Hopefully, it will be in my lifetime. Both her parents are passed away now, and they didn't know what happened to her."

Gifford said family members searched the area where Mitchell was last seen right after she disappeared, but came up empty handed. She also believes someone in that area knows what happened to Mitchell, and hopes they will feel more comfortable talking to police now that 30 years have passed.

"I think it would help so much if people would be willing to come out and talk," said Gifford. "You might think it is small or nothing, but it might be the one word or key that finds her."

"You want to close every case you have," Filter said. "But we have to work with the public. We have to have the public's help to clear these cases out."

"It would mean the world to me," said Gifford. "It would put me at peace, and I would know that she would be at peace now."

Unsolved TN: Nashville mother still missing 32 years after getting into unknown car​

August 2024
More than three decades ago, a woman was seen getting into a car with an unknown man. Little did anyone know, that would be the last time she was ever seen.

That woman was 30-year-old Pamela Jean Mitchell. At the time, she was living in Nashville and had two young children. In an interview with News 2 in 2022, Mitchell’s daughter said she left for camp that summer and never saw her mother again.

Mitchell’s family said she had fallen into some bad habits around the time of her disappearance, including occasional drug usage and prostitution, but that she was still dearly loved.

“She was a good person and just got into the wrong stuff,” said Ashley Neal, who was just 9 years old when her mother disappeared. “She is a human being just like the rest of us and we all matter to somebody. She mattered to us… to a lot of people.”

According to investigators with the Metro Nashville Police Department, the last place Mitchell was spotted was at the Krystal on West Trinity Lane.

Patrons recalled seeing Mitchell at the fast-food restaurant on Aug. 19, 1992, with one witness telling police she saw the young mother get into a vehicle with an unidentified man. Mitchell lived only about two miles north on Dickerson Road, but she never returned home that day.

The search for Mitchell took detectives to Shelby Park, where a team combed the bottom of the river. However, it’s still unclear what may have happened to her. Mitchell’s family believes foul play was involved in her disappearance.
