ThurmanHusband: Wife impaired by medsBy CHRIS GRAHAM/ chrisgraham@c-dh.netAuthorities have resumed a search for a Columbia woman whose vehicle was found abandoned on a Sowell Mill Pike bridge late Friday.Maury County Sheriff Enoch George said boats provided by Maury Rural Fire and Rescue combed the Duck River for several hours Monday in search of Paula “Lindsey” Sale-Tinney, 55. Rescue crews used sonar and cadaver dogs from Nashville to probe areas of interest where debris had collected along the rain-swollen river.“This is still a search-and-rescue operation,” the sheriff said.Authorities had suspended the search Saturday because of dangerous river conditions.Sale-Tinney’s husband, Stu Tinney, said Monday he was impressed by the resources being poured into the search, but he added, “hope is waning.”Tinney said his wife had undergone surgery about four months ago and had become very sick from anesthesia. She had been placed on a large number of prescription medications.He said he believes side-effects from the combination of drugs, including anti-depressants, played a role in her disappearance.Stu Tinney talks with Maury County Sheriff’s Department personnel Saturday. Authorities restarted the search for his wife, Paula “Lindsey” Sale-Tinney, on Monday. Staff photo by Greg Menza“She’s been a science experiment for two months,” he said.Tinney said his wife had been so impaired by the medications that she saw an expert in drug interdiction, who for several weeks had been working with her to regulate her drugs and control their side-effects.Sale-Tinney was involved in a car accident about 4 p.m. Friday after becoming disoriented on the way to a doctor’s appointment, her husband said.Tinney said she was unharmed, but he went to the crash scene and brought her home. Afterward, they ate dinner, played Scrabble and watched television. She had taken her evening medications, and they were together on the couch when he fell asleep about 9 p.m.He was awakened about 11:30 p.m. by a call from the sheriff’s department, he said. Officials told him his wife’s car had been discovered abandoned near the Duck River bridge about 1.5 miles from their home on Redbud Lane.Neighbors later told Tinney they “saw a woman in a blue robe walking away from the bridge toward a car that was parked on the wrong side of the road.” They didn’t recognize Sale-Tinney and just kept driving, he said.Tinney said his wife’s Buick Redenzvous was parked about 100 feet from the bridge on a wide shoulder where the couple sometimes stopped to pick up stray animals or trash that had been dumped there. The car, which was impounded by police, was still in running condition.“So she didn’t have car trouble,” he said.The National Weather Service reports that on Friday the river was at 22 feet — 10 feet below flood stage.Tinney said that although he’s heard little from authorities regarding the search, support from family and friends has been uplifting.“The outpouring from the community has been incredible,” he said.He urged that anyone with information on his wife’s disappearance or whereabouts contact the Maury County Sheriff’s Department at (931) 388-5151.Sheriff’s Detective Terry Chandler said no signs of foul play have been found in the case, though he noted that the investigation continues.“We’re not ruling out anything,” he said.The search began about 9 p.m. Friday after a passer-by called the Sheriff’s Department to report Sale-Tinney’s vehicle parked on the wrong side of the road with the keys still in the ignition. Skid marks were visible behind the car.On Saturday, a Tennessee Highway Patrol helicopter hovered over the area. A K-9 unit was also called in to assist authorities.According to a police report, Sale-Tinney had been missing for 12 hours Thursday but returned later that night.Story created Mar 31, 2009 - 15:51:19 EDT.

A body pulled from the Duck River Wednesday may be that of Paula “Lindsay” Sale-Tinney, a 55-year-old Columbia woman missing since March 27.
Sheriff Enoch George said the body, which was found in the water about a mile from the Iron Bridge Road river access point in East Columbia, appeared to be a white woman about Sale-Tinney’s height and build.
“The body was beyond recognition,” George said. “We called a (Sale-Tinney) family member in to ID it, but he was unable to do so 100 percent.”
The remains were taken to Nashville where Medical Examiner Bruce Levy would use dental records to attempt to establish identity, George said.
Sale-Tinney’s car was found abandoned the night she disappeared near the Duck River bridge on Sowell Mill Pike, about 1.5 miles from the home she shared with her husband, Stu Tinney, on Red Bud Lane. George said the Sowell Mill Pike bridge is about 8 miles from the spot where the body was found.
