We’re grateful to everyone who came together this weekend in the search for Luke Wylie and send our sincere condolences to his family.

From the desk of Chief Dale Armour:
This past weekend, our community experienced a tragic incident involving a missing person. Anyone whose family has faced the uncertainty of a missing loved one understands the anguish families endure as they wait for answers. Sadly, this search ended with an outcome no family or community ever wants to face.

We grieve alongside the family, friends, and all those affected by this tragedy. While words cannot ease their loss, we hope they find strength in the support of those around them and comfort in knowing they are not alone.

I want to express my sincere appreciation to the first responders who assisted with the search and recovery. When called upon, neighboring agencies came together without hesitation, providing personnel, equipment, and resources that were essential to the operation. Their professionalism, compassion, and commitment to service were evident throughout.

Working alongside the Nolensville Police Department were Nolensville Fire & Rescue, Williamson County Emergency Management Agency, the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office Aviation Unit, the Franklin Police Department Dive Team, and the Rutherford County Emergency Management Dive Team. On behalf of the Nolensville Police Department, I offer my thanks to every responder, volunteer, and agency that assisted us.

Most importantly, our focus remains where it belongs, with the family and loved ones navigating an unimaginable loss. Please keep them, and all those affected by this tragedy, in your thoughts in the days ahead.
