Tracy Lynn Guy was 19 and a University of Tennessee student when he was found dead in his red Volvo on November 8, 1980, in Knoxville. The car was parked in the Townview Terrace Apartments lot at Vine and Hill Avenue. The medical examiner estimated the time of death at about midnight and attributed it to a fatal gunshot wound to the face. Guy was found lying down with the driver’s seat reclined and the passenger seat also reclined.

Investigators reported his wallet and its contents scattered inside the car, and his pants were pulled down. Blood was noted on the rear passenger window. The case remains unsolved and is listed as a cold case by the Knoxville Police Department; no suspects or arrests have been publicly identified.

If anyone knew Tracy, saw him on the night of November 8, 1980, or has information about that parking lot, please come forward to assist the investigation.
