Details of Disappearance
Guild moved from Arizona to Nashville, Tennessee in May 1985. He had previously been a pipefitter, but dreamed of being a songwriter. He became homeless and was living in a homeless camp known as Tent City, under the Interstate 24/Interstate 40 overpass.
He eventually constructed a tiny cabin there, with a sofa bed, a wood stove, an outhouse and a brick grill. His home was featured in an article inĀ The Tennessean in November 1989.
Guild was last seen in Nashville on December 1, 1991. He has never been heard from again. His daughter, who last saw her father when she was two years old, reported him missing in 2018 after she could find no indication of her father's whereabouts after 1991.
Little information is available in his disappearance.
