NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A mother in search of answers with respect to her daughter’s death has helped to effort a major break in the case: a confession from the alleged killer.
The Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) released more information in the investigation that took place in Antioch. News 2 spoke with the victim’s mother with the hope that her story would inspire others to keep fighting even when all hope seems lost.
Twenty-nine year old April Holt died on July 31, 2023. Her mother, Jamie Dickerson, recalled the conversations she had with April in the hours before the mother of two died at a Nashville hospital.
“I get a call that my daughter isn’t breathing,” Dickerson said. “…I just knew.”
According to MNPD, April was found with a bag over her head in the bathroom of the Antioch home she shared with her husband. The November 2023 autopsy report listed her death as a suicide.
