Witness saw the accident, but could not locate the wreckage.

Tragically, a Tennessee family that had been missing for nearly two weeks was found dead.

Jeremy Cook, Johanna Manor, his fiancee, and Adalicia Manor, her 8-year old daughter, had not been seen since January 16th. After a ten day search, police found all three of them in their truck at the bottom a 100ft ravine.

The parents' failure to show up to work and the fact that the little girl didn't arrive at school led to family members becoming concerned. The family contacted police on January 21 to conduct a welfare check at their home, but they were unable to find any clues.

WKRN was told by Lt. Doddo from Hickman County Sheriff's Office that there were no suspicions. They leave because they saw nothing unusual.

Johanna's father filed a missing persons' report on January 23. Investigators started pulling bank records, checking license plate readers in multiple county. They tried to ping their phones but were having difficulties.

Lt. Doddo stated that there was misinformation regarding cell phone carriers, which led to cell phones not being pinged. "This was not an instance where we didn't try to ping the phones, but it was a situation in which one phone carrier wasn't a major brand. They don't have as many resources as Verizon or AT&T.

Investigators finally managed to obtain a ping on Wednesday from the 19th January. This led them to a 1.9-mile radius off Interstate 840.

Doddo stated that he found a car 30 yards to his left. It was in a ravine and was hidden from our sight.

Tennessee Highway Patrol believes that weather was the reason. They believe that the truck hit a median concrete wall, fell over it and landed in thick undergrowth where it remained hidden.

All three victims died at impact.

Lt. Doddo stated that there is a strong possibility they hydroplaned, or that bridges freeze first. They could have hit a piece of ice and gone up over the railing.

It was discovered that a witness saw the accident and called 911. However, he left the scene before police arrived.

According to Lt. Doddo, "This family would have been located a lot sooner if that person stayed around," the outlet reported.

"Two troopers responded there, but they didn't see anything. He said that he could understand why no one would see the vehicle because of its location. To see them, you would have to either look under the bridge or lean on the side of it. It was so difficult to see from the top. The helicopter wouldn't have seen them from the position it was hidden under the bridge, I think."

A neighbor confirmed that there was no evidence to support the claim of the crash site.

He said that he was down there yesterday and couldn't see the satellite. The question is how it got there. How? The bridge is unaffected."

Lt. Doddo said, "The family has been devastated." "You have lost nearly a whole generation in one accident, that's tragic." This is not a weather-related accident.
