ASHLAND CITY, Tenn. (WSMV) – New details have been released after authorities found a woman’s body inside a man’s vehicle following a multi-county chase through Middle Tennessee.
The pursuit began on Interstate 40 near mile marker 243 in Wilson County following an issued Be On the Look Out (BOLO) on Saturday morning. The BOLO was issued because the suspect, identified as Lance Miller, had an out-of-state warrant for his arrest.
