Circumstances of Disappearance
Gracie was last seen leaving the Eastfare Nursing Home at 2820 East Martin Luther King Boulevard where she was employed, at 11 p.m. on December 26, 1983.
Mrs. Nash's vehicle a white/green 1971 Chevrolet bearing Texas plates PPT621 was found abandoned December 28, 1983 in the 2400 block of East 22nd Street, near Maple.
Police discovered signs of a very violent assault, including large amounts of blood.
Six weeks later, Nash's brother John Davis was gunned down outside his house on Blessing Avenue in Northeast Austin as he headed to work. He died a short time later.
Two months before Nash's disappearance, another brother, Butch Davis, was shot and wounded by his girlfriend. The girlfriend later pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and received probation. She was out on bail when Gracie Nash vanished and when John Davis was killed. She may have wanted to harm Butch Davis and his family because he broke off their relationship.
In 1990, the girlfriend was sentenced to 75 years in prison after a jury convicted her of murder in the November 1989 shooting death of her husband. Kent Moore was shot five times in his home at 5504 Manor Road.
