A Colorado man who went missing after traveling to Nashville for a work conference has been found dead.

The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department announced on Friday, Aug. 21, that the body of Conor Anderson, 31, was discovered in a wood line adjacent to a parking lot at 14 James Robertson Parkway

“There are no immediate indications of foul play,” the department said in a statement. “The Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death.”

Police previously said that Anderson was last seen early Sunday, Aug. 16, in the Woodland/Main Street area of East Nashville. He had flown from Colorado for business and checked into the Millennium Maxwell House hotel.

According to authorities, at about 1 p.m. local time Sunday, Anderson flagged two East Precinct officers who were in their car to report an encounter he had with unidentified men outside of a nearby bar.

Anderson told the officers that he gave the men $20 to “show him around the area.” He alleged the men then walked away with his money.

Police body camera footage from Sunday showed Anderson explaining to the officers what happened.

“I can’t remember if he demanded or he ended up getting another 20 bucks from me,” Anderson said in the footage, according to ABC affiliate WKRN. “And then him and his friends acted like nothing happened. And then they threatened me with violence.”

Officers also asked Anderson if he was trying to buy drugs, to which he replied, “No.”

“The officers explained in order to make a formal report they’d need his driver’s license, but Anderson refused,” police said in a Wednesday, Aug. 19 statement. “They encouraged him to get a rideshare back to his hotel and he agreed.”

Millennium Maxwell House staff told WKRN that Anderson never returned to the hotel. They also said they were concerned when Anderson’s check-out time came and went Sunday.

At the time, authorities said that attempts to find Anderson were underway through area surveillance footage in addition to phone and bank records.
