The search for a missing Tennessee family has come to a tragic ending after authorities confirmed all three were found dead following a car crash.
Jeremy Cook, 39, Johanna Manor, 28, and their 8-year-old daughter, Adalicia Manor, deceased bodies were found nearly two weeks after they were last heard from by friends and family, according to WSMV and a GoFundMe account that was set up to raise money for their funerals.
Relatives of the three grew concerned when the couple did not arrive at work, and Adalicia was absent from school for several days.
The last communication from the family was around Jan. 16, Biggs said.
On Wednesday, authorities discovered Jeremy, Johanna, and Adalicia dead in a vehicle found close to a ravine in Williamson County, WSMV reported.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol said they fell 100 feet after their car ran off the road.
“Unfortunately, on January 26th, the authorities got a ping off of their phone that lead them to find the bodies of Johanna, Adalicia, and Jeremy,” Biggs said on GoFundMe. “They had ended up hitting a patch of ice and wrecked, causing them to go down a 100 foot drop off into the woods below.”
“Anything will help, as we are having to bury 3 people,” she added.
Biggs told WSMV that they are still investigating what happened to the family.
“It was snowy and cold still, and the roads were kind of icy,” she said. “I don’t understand what happened.”
“If I would have known I would have been out looking on the roads for her sooner,” Biggs added. “I swear I would have. I didn’t know.”
The GoFundMe campaign has raised over $11,000 as of Sunday evening.
“It’s sad that her family and friends had to be her biggest advocate’s to even look for them to get the word out there,” family friend Erica Johnson told WKRN. “They will be extremely missed. They had a beautiful 8-year-old little girl who will be extremely missed.”
