New Body Cam Footage Reveals Details of Missing East Nashville Man's Last Known Interaction

The Millennium Maxwell House hums with the late-night energy of East Nashville, its lobby a crossroads for conference-goers and locals alike. It is past checkout time on a Sunday, yet the hotel remains busy, a blur of luggage wheels and murmured conversations. Inside, staff stand by their surveillance monitors, waiting for a guest who never walks back through the doors.

Conor Anderson, 31, is one of them. Or at least, he was supposed to be.

Newly released body camera footage offers a clearer picture of Anderson’s last known interaction before he vanished from Nashville, where he had traveled for a work conference. The video captures a moment that feels both mundane and significant, played out on the corner of Woodland and Main streets just after 1 a.m. Sunday. Anderson, appearing heavily intoxicated but determined, flagged down two East Precinct officers to report an encounter that had left him unsettled.

In the footage, an officer asks where he is from. Anderson, originally from New York but currently living in Colorado, explains that he had met a man inside a nearby bar. The pair eventually moved outside, where Anderson claims the man asked him to show off the neighborhood. He handed over $20, perhaps more, though he struggles to recall if it was a demand or a gift.

“They acted like nothing happened,” Anderson tells the officers. “And then they threatened me with violence.”

As he speaks, Anderson backtracks, admitting he doesn’t remember exactly how the sequence unfolded. “We’re just hanging out,” he says, trying to piece together a story that isn’t quite holding together. An officer presses him, asking if he had been attempting to buy drugs. Anderson insists no. The officer notes the inconsistencies and the clear signs of intoxication, suggesting his story is shaky.

Anderson declines to provide his driver’s license for a formal report. Instead, he agrees to order a rideshare and return to the hotel. According to police, that is what he did.

But he didn’t make it back.

Staff at the Millennium Maxwell House told News 2 that Anderson never returned to his room. They realized something was wrong when his scheduled checkout time passed on Sunday without him appearing. The hotel is particularly busy, and reviewing surveillance video hasn’t yielded a definitive answer on exactly when he left the property. He may have walked out among a larger group of people, disappearing into the crowd before anyone noticed he was gone.

Anderson’s father and other family members have since traveled to Nashville, retrieving his belongings from the hotel. Their presence underscores the reality of the situation: this isn’t just a missing person file number; it’s a family waiting for news.

Metro Nashville Police Department Missing Persons Unit detectives are currently investigating Anderson’s disappearance, working to trace his movements after that early morning encounter. They are looking beyond the body camera footage now, trying to fill in the gaps between his rideshare promise and his actual disappearance.

Stand there long enough outside the hotel, and you can hear the city breathing around it. The doors open and close. People come and go. But for Anderson, the door to his room remained shut, and the street beyond remained open.
