The Disappearance of Patrick “Pat” Allen Guild Part 1: Dreaming of Nashville

Patrick “Pat” Allen Guild moved to Nashville with dreams of making it big in the songwriting business. But things didn’t work out as he planned; he spent his time in the city living in its unhoused community, in an encampment near the I-24 overpass. Pat was last heard from around December of 1991—and since then, there’s been no trace of him. Now, his adult daughter, Shannon, is trying to work backward to separate the threads of her father’s life, and piece together the bits of information she’s discovered to find out what, exactly, happened to her father. It’s not a pleasant journey for her; her own mother was afraid of Pat, and for good reason. But more than anything, Shannon need to know—she needs resolution.
