UPDATE

61-year-old Randall Lee Rose was recently indicted by a Knox County Grand Jury for the murder of Sharon Leinart, a woman who was reported missing in Knoxville in 2013.

 

At the time of her disappearance, Leinart was homeless and had last been seen in January 2013 at Volunteer Ministries in the 500 block of N. Broadway. A family member allegedly spoke with Leinart in late January. At that time, she reported that she was staying at a Knoxville-area motel.

 

Leinart was not seen again and her body was never recovered.

 

Rose is currently serving a life sentence for a murder that happened in 2021 in Jackson, Tennessee. During that investigation, Rose volunteered information that he was involved in a murder in Knoxville. In the course of the investigation by the KPD Homicide Unit, detectives were able to connect Rose to the disappearance and death of Leinart.

Sharon was 58 at the time and was known to frequent areas around the Salvation Army and KARM, as well as area hotels. She also was known to use the name “Angela.” During her last contact with her family, Sharon indicated she had been picked up by someone and presumably was taken to stay at their house.

Nearly 14 years after Christina Stoddard was reported as missing, Knoxville Police Department Special Crimes Unit investigators are continuing to seek any information from the public regarding her possible whereabouts or the circumstances of her disappearance.
 
On October 30, 2007, Christina was reported missing at the age of 27. She was last seen four days before that, on October 26, 2007, in the area of the Clinton Highway Wal-Mart at around 12:30 p.m. At the time of her disappearance, she was approximately 5’3 and 120 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. Christina often went by the nickname “Sheba” and had a tattoo of a skull on her left bicep.
 
Much about the events surrounding Christina’s disappearance remain unknown. Though there is no definitive evidence to indicate foul play, her extended absence is at a minimum cause for suspicion.
 
Investigators are confident that there are people with information about the circumstances of Christina’s disappearance and hopeful that after 14 years’ time those individuals will share that information.
