Family wants answers in ongoing search for missing Nashville woman

LEBANON, Tenn. (WKRN) — Investigators from multiple agencies focused their search for a missing Antioch woman on a Lebanon house under construction on Thursday.

Blanca Guadalupe Berrios Orellana , 23, has been missing since August. A home under construction in a quiet neighborhood is now the focus of that missing persons case.

Metro police said that a tip led investigators to Burnt House Road where they hoped to find Orellana.

“Some days, I think they took her and some days, I don’t really think anything,” Blanca’s mother, Ines Berrios said through a translator.

She was last seen leaving her Antioch apartment on August 18.

“That Sunday, Blanca texted me and said she wanted to see her stepfather,” Berrios said.

Blanca’s stepfather lives in Murfreesboro.

“When she disappeared, I looked for him and wanted to know what happened,” Berrios told News 2.

Berrios said that Orellana’s car was parked at the stepfather’s house. However, the family can’t get a hold of him.

“If someone sees her or her stepfather, let me know, but I don’t know if they’re together,” Berrios added.

Investigators have not released details about what led them to this location. Orellana has a job in the cleaning business.

Berrios wants answers, and most of all, she wants her daughter to get home safely.
