SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Police say they have found the 1993 Oldmobile Cutlass believed to have been driven by the man wanted as a "person of interest" in connection with the suspicious death of a 17-year-old Sevierville girl.

Sevierville police say they located the car at lucy's market on Chapman Highway just north of Sevierville. They say it is now being processed for evidence.

The search continues for Julio Fernandez, a Hispanic man around 19 or 20 years old. He's about 5'6" tall, and weighs about 150 pounds.

Police say 17-year-old Melissa Victoria Foster was found by people who came to the home around 7 p.m. Wednesday night.

Tara Baxter says she called 911 after some Hispanics called for help following their discovery of Foster's body.

Baxter says she saw the girl on the bed with a little blood around and her shirt ruffled at her upper body.

If you have any information concerning Fernandez's whereabouts or the death of Foster, call 865-453-5506.
