Chattanooga Man Wanted by TBI After Disappearing During Murder Trial
A Chattanooga man, who disappeared during his murder trial, has been added to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) Most Wanted list.
Chattanooga, TN, November 13, 2026 — A Chattanooga man has been added to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s (TBI) Most Wanted list following his disappearance. The individual reportedly went missing during the proceedings of his own murder trial.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation confirmed the man’s inclusion on its Most Wanted list. Details regarding the specific charges he faced in the murder trial were not immediately available. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance from the trial have not been fully detailed, but his absence has led to his designation as a fugitive.
Being placed on the TBI’s Most Wanted list signifies that law enforcement agencies are actively seeking the individual. This list highlights fugitives who are considered dangerous or have committed serious offenses. The TBI typically collaborates with local law enforcement agencies to apprehend individuals featured on this list.
Further information concerning the suspect’s identity, the date of his disappearance, or the specific court where the trial was taking place has not been publicly disclosed by authorities at this time. The investigation into his whereabouts is ongoing, and the TBI is urging the public to report any sightings or information that could assist in his capture.
The legal proceedings for the murder trial have likely been impacted by the defendant’s failure to appear. The court system must now address the implications of his disappearance, which could include issuing warrants and potentially proceeding with the trial in absentia under certain legal conditions, depending on jurisdiction and specific case details.
The TBI encourages anyone with information regarding the wanted individual to contact them directly or to provide tips through their official reporting channels. The agency emphasizes that individuals should not approach the suspect if they believe they have located him, but rather to alert law enforcement immediately.
