let's talk some true crime so at this point you have not talked to Tyler since 4:10 a.m. you've
been searching it's now past daylight it's 10:30 in the morning morning you don't know what to do and it's serious
and you need to call Tyler's parents I'm not trying to worry anybody like that was the one thing that I was terrified
to do I was like I can't call his mom I can't like I cannot call her and tell her this like I I have to we have to go
find him first and you know like he's going to be so mad him and his parents are so close and like he's going to be
so mad if I call his mom right now and Adam's like Britney he was like you have to check out of here in an hour and a
half he's like then going tell then what are we going to do so I sat down and I called um I called Rhonda and I was like
this is the situation I don't know what to do and she was like okay calm down I'm sure everything's fine you know and
at this point I had already called Franklin County Jail i' had already called all the hospitals I had already
called you know what I mean like I'm I'm thinking all options maybe he got a public in talk maybe he's in jail
somewhere you know what I mean maybe he hurt himself in somebody coms to the hospital I'm like looking at any and all
of these different things to try to I don't know like make some sense of this really
so I you know I tell Rhonda and she's like okay you know don't don't freak out yet you know she asked me if I had
called all the jails and asked me if IID called all the hospitals and all that stuff and I was like yeah and she's like
okay well Kevin's on his way he's on his way right now and we're going to figure
it out I was like okay so so it took Kevin probably about um 45 minutes to get there so after I got off the pH with
her Adam's like let's go let's go drive around again let's go see if we can see something else you know there's another
street that I wanted to look at or something I don't know so we get back in the car and me and Adam drive around
again so Kevin gets there and you know he's like what happened like what did you guys do blah blah blah I I told him
everything you know the story and he was like okay and he was like I'm gonna go find him I need to start walking and I
was like okay and I this man literally probably walked 30 miles he didn't leave till it was dark he went
through every single patch of those woods on foot that day by himself so now that you contacted his parents when do
you contact the police so yeah so Ronda calls me right after um Kevin gets there
and she's like BR it's like we're we're not the viol missing person's report right now and I just was like no like
I'm sure he's going to shoot us like Britney and it was just like right when she told me that I got really real
really like I knew it was real because I was already like sick worried but then I
was just like a whole other level you know what I mean like I just I was just already terrified and now I have to like
so when did you call them I called them around I like 11:30 they actually weren't even there until
12:30 um I met them in the parking lot of the Hilton and I gave the officer my you know I told him everything I said
this is what he was wearing this is what last time I see him last time I talked to him um and literally the first thing
this man says to me is well you know your husband he's not elderly and he's not a minor so as far as I'm concerned a
29y old man can leave on his own accord well technically that's the law yeah no it it is the law but it's like I feel
like and even since I've been going through this there are so many when it comes to missing people it is such like
a broad area like there's not really a place to start like they literally are like oh 72 hours we'll let you know type
the old thing and I was like are you like are you kidding me well on the missing person's unit there's eight
detectives they did roughly 8,000 cases last year so they're kind of crunched for time anyways and I think anytime
that it is an adult that goes missing they have to start with the idea that they could have went missing because
they wanted to right well and you know I understand people that hear my story and
people that see this they're like half of them are like oh he probably just walked away and I can put this on my
whole like I know that man so well he is literally my best friend like we were really good friends before we ever even
got together you know what I mean like I I know everything about him seriously everything and I know he would
never he wouldn't just like if Tyler didn't want to be with me okay he would tell me that he doesn't play games he's
not childish like he's a very very blunt person he's very upfront he loves his son more than
anything in the whole world he literally named my son after a freaking football quarterback like I'm being dead serious
him and his parents are him and his mom are so close I've never seen a relationship between like a son and a
mother like that before in my life so even if he left you and didn't tell you he would still be contacting his mother
oh definitely definitely like you take me you take me and my son like you take us completely out of this equation he
would not do this to his mom or his dad but not his mom not his mom not his family like not his friends he's a
really like he with his job alone he has so many responsibilities he never missed
a day of work I'm talking like he has never missed a day of work how was the first conversation with law enforcement
it was not good I had so I filed the police report he had like got it in the system around
like 1 p.m. and you know me and Adam we still drove around and we were looking in all these places and we met up with
Kevin a couple times and it was about five and Kevin's like Britney I think you I think you need need to go get
Aaron I think it's I think you need to go back to the house and get Aaron and I was I can't like I can't leave him up
here by himself like you know what I mean like I can't I can't leave them but I had to like I needed to go get my son
and so I did so Adam took me back to my in-law's house in circle bille I had literally just got there so this is
probably around like 5 six o'clock and he the detective called me and I mean he wasn't very
nice but at the same time it's like I understand that your job's not going to be nice to me you know what I mean like
your job is to find my husband that's what your that's what your duty is it's not to call me 27 times a day to tell me
what you've heard and what you haven't heard it's not to you know what I mean like your job is to find my husband so
but the first now I know this like literally like 46 days later I know this but that day when he called me this is
like super new like I didn't go to sleep I still haven't been in bed at this time
have you been trying to call Tyler's phone oh yeah I was calling it all day all day the cops did a pretty extensive
search from what I've heard when did that search take place technically he went missing on the
24th they didn't do their first search until Tuesday they're they're tell they're
telling me it's they've been doing everything yeah and when I talked to detectives they they explained to me the
search and it it seemed very extensive they also pulled a lot of security footage from the mall yeah so the first
day so this was Monday and I'll tell you again I didn't I didn't go to bed until Tuesday I didn't sleep I didn't go
to sleep until Tuesday Sunday night after I actually got back to L that night I put I put Aaron to bed and I
told her I'm I asked her if it was okay for um for me to leave if she would mind
like Aaron was asleep and she was completely fine with it and me and couple of Tyler's friends we went back
up East and we searched all those woods by ourselves and this was before so this
was like Sunday night going into early hours of Monday so we we were there who went with you guys it was me um Alex and
Nick uh and these are just you know friends of ours um so we got there probably around 1 one in the
morning and we just we just started searching like we went everywhere I'm talking like we didn't leave there until
oh I'm sorry yeah it was me Alex and Nick and then two of Tyler's um employees actually met us up there as
well two um two younger kids that work for him soon as we got there I went directly to the Hilton I spoke with the
night manager I let him know the situation showed him a picture of my husband you know talked to him for a
minute and he was like yeah let me um let me see if I can start pulling footage and I was like okay cool like I
really appreciate it then we walked down to easn security I let them know the situation I talked to them I told them
um you know I'm going to be out here tonight I just want let you know like these are my two friends like we're
going to go I'm we going to search to see if we can and they were completely cool with it they were like yeah totally
go ahead again it's also like 1:00 a.m. so nobody's there and you know we go out there and we're
there for for hours and when I had went and talked to East in security there was
actually an officer for CPD in the area and he was super nice he came up to me you know he told me he like I just got
on shift he was like I just learned um about about your husband and we're still trying to get everything together he was
like don't think we haven't started yet he was like but we literally just just got the we haven't even got we just got
the report like 12 hours ago it's pretty much what he was saying I was like okay
well I'm here so I'm I'm looking that's what I'm doing in the Eastern Security office they told me they had already
started pulling footage and that they saw Tyler walking back to the hotel at 4:15 they saw them walking to the hotel
at 4:15 which to me made perfect sense because if we're on the phone at 410 and he says I'll be there in a couple
minutes you know I see the hotel I'm walking and they said they had him on camera walking towards towards the
Hilton that's what they told me come to find out it wasn't Tyler it was like Tyler and his friend they have the same
body type like same size and same height you know what I mean like and apparently
uh with the way those cameras work at night time I guess they're not the most perfect Vision so they they assumed that
it was Tyler and it wasn't but it was his friend but how could it be his friend when at the time of that call or
at that at that moment he's leaving or with you that's what I didn't understand because when Tyler had called
me around 410 you know he was like he was right beside me and then I realized that when me and
after we got off the phone we both kind of like but we didn't like walk up the street like we walked to do you do you
know the East area very well yeah okay so like we walked like if we were staying on the corner room from the
Hilton we walked to the left and we both were kind of like on that main strip and
we both like walked down the street but like he did one side and I did the other
side like I'm sorry we were both on the same side of the street but he went One Direction and I went the other Direction
and um so I don't know if that was then you know cuz when we were like he could have been turning around it could have
been that time CU we were it's not like we both went out and like were like searching it was kind of like we were
just like walking down to see if we might see him somewhere well there's tons of shops around there and there's
tons of cameras it's surprising that he's not picked up on any of the footage anywhere so back to the search that
night so we go and we there a bunch of stuff uh we don't stop until it was Daylight it was like 7 7 or 8 in the
morning and we're trying to like at this point like me and Nick and Alex and um the other two we're just trying to like
okay trying to like pretty much think like Tyler thinks I don't know it probably sounds stupid but we're like
okay if he said that he's walking out of the woods and he sees the Hilton we went
to every sing single patch of woods and like to like around to see like if you could see the Hilton in this patch of
woods we searched it well Tyler doesn't know this area he's been drinking he's exhausted so is it it's it's possible
that he's not even looking at the correct hotel right exactly like he's looking at the wrong place and that's
something we also considered so there is a I think it's a Marriott a little bit down from it's like on the other side of
the actual Town Center like the shopping center and it looks like they're all made by like all these hotels in the
area it's the same company that owns them it looks just like the Hilton it's a little smaller but it looks just like
the Hilton puts out the same amount of light at night time so we went around there as well so you guys are searching
everywhere you don't know when the cops are going to search or if they're going to search but they end up searching on
that Tuesday and then they contact you after they called me and pretty much said I just want to let you know that we
searched um the ponds behind Costco and we've been working on pinging his phone and we pinged his phone around Costco
but I guess what it was is like I miss took it because there's the cell tower back there and if you ping a phone a it
automatically goes to like that cell phone tower but that radius is like two miles so the phone could be anywhere in
that two miles it doesn't necessarily have to be like a the tower so they subpoenaed his phone records They
subpoena his phone records oh like they still don't have them and it's like over
a month ago was like all the beginning of March have they subpoenaed your phone records yet uh not that I know of but I
mean I've been more than welcome to like you know here's my cell phone you can look through it do whatever you need to
do to it type deal thing have you thought about taking screenshots of your call log I uh went to like my cuz I
Verizon so I got on like my Verizon and we did this with Tyler because Tyler is on a phone plan with his parents and I'm
On One with mine so I literally got on mine and I took a picture of my call log and I sent it to the detectives and
then I did the same thing for tyers I like this is like I know it's not ex everything you need but this is
what I can give you as of right now this is like Monday I think right Monday or Tuesday that I got that to them in law
enforcement during the surgery were they were using dogs uh they searched the woods did they search the ponds search
the ponds I guess they have dogs out and they said that that the dogs actually hit on one of the
ponds so they drug it completely they stwn AR they had like a dive team um and there was nothing in there and then they
actually searched that same Pond again like the ponds in that area had been search multiple times they have had
multiple different searches like GD searches and different like I know there are like wooded areas there and since he
did say like Woods on the phone the last time they've been pushing towards the woods more you
know like when they do search which is understandable and they just don't have it's like there's like like there's
literally nothing there like there's no like not a shoe not a wallet not literally nothing at all and Tyler
doesn't have a transportation app like uber on his phone that you know of that I know of no do you guys share social
media accounts or do you have access to Tyler's social media accounts we don't share any
no sorry um we do not share any I don't have access I mean I think I know what his password is but um I was
told not to try it type deal thing I think that the detectives are actually like looking into his Facebook and stuff
but um as far like I I know he has like a Snapchat I don't know what his password to that is
um I know like the password to it is Gmail and I had actually contacted the detectives to make sure that I could
continuously check his Gmail because like our friend that was with us at night he's super like techy and he's
like um told me like a lot of things about like apparently if you have a Galaxy you can and like you're signed up
with Gmail like Gmail like literally tracks her phone and that was something that was
the detectives also ended up finding and that caught him down by Abbot lab and then that's why they did another search
on I think that was the South part of Easton right so they get a hit at Abbott Labs that's pretty far from Easton
walking wise if I'm correct I think it's about half a mile and that's where it stopped do you have access to his
financial records oh yeah so I basically like it's just flagged and um we have a
lady at the bank who just checks on it constantly and like anytime there's any type of notice that comes on there like
she literally calls me to tell me that my Netflix came out like type stuff you know what I mean like anything that pops
up on there but there hasn't been any activity from Tyler like nothing this is just weird hearing this
from Britney's perspective hearing it directly from somebody that was there somebody that was searching for their
loved one for you know as she says her best friend the weight to this story it's it's just got a certain heaviness
to it that's really like got my head spinning right now Captain I'm I'm kind of like questioning a lot of different
things here I'm trying to think through a lot of things as I visualize the story
as she tells it one thing that I that I was was thinking about along the way is kind of going back to their night out
they go out around 8:30 and she was very detailed in their timeline and what they were doing and
then he goes missing I'm calling it 410 411 a.m. is when he goes missing that seems to be when he's truly unaccounted
for and communication drops off yeah but you wonder the call before at 3:37 is he loost
and he just doesn't know it yet right and how far could he be from the actual Hotel the thing is and I know this is
kind of really out of the box and and and very likely not super important but she keeps talking about how exhausted he
would have been or or she thinks that he is right the last time she sees him I didn't hear any mention of you know we
we had we had food at this place you know I'm I'm factoring all these things in how tired this guy could be how how
um drunk Tyler may have been one just dis disoriented from waking up in an Uber and now you're in front of your
hotel in an area that you do not know well you know and so I'm factoring in all these things here he's not super you
know he's not super equipped or dressed well for that temperature at that hour there's a lot of things factoring into
the to the thought that I have a hard time believing that if he were on foot I don't know how far he would have made
it until he would have just hit the wall to be completely exhausted right this is
an area that has had its ups and down as far as reputation so the more he travels the more likely he is to run
into somebody but this makes it very unique in this case because she has the records
of when they paid for things and roughly what the bill was mhm so when she's saying I think he had
three drinks that's based off of also looking at the bill and just knowing the total and
going well I had a couple so he must have had a few and in most missing person cases
take Brian Schaefers for example we don't know how much he drank we don't know what he drank MH we we don't have a
clue with Mara Murray we don't know if she was drinking or not I mean this we have detailed accounts of what he was
doing hours before he went missing yeah and the thing though too is you know and
this is why they say hey obviously don't drink and drive don't drive drunk but you know there's also that big movement
has been for years about don't do buzzed driving either and I think all that's very important to keep in mind when we
try to analyze this stuff from the outside looking in when you talk about alcohol I know my personal experience
with drinking is it's you can't always figure out how intoxicated you might be in one specific setting I know there are
times where I'll have two or three drinks and I'm sober as a judge there's other times I'll have two or three
drinks and I feel like I've been drinking all night there's a lot of factors that go into that exhaustion how
much have you ate what what have you been doing that day and I just kind of keep going back to the the thought and
the feeling that I feel like this guy I feel like Tyler got disoriented I feel like he's in a place that he doesn't
know very well and at some point I just picture him you know thinking he is in a
certain location getting slightly turned around and going I know it's right up here I'll just keep walking this way and
then we've done this before everybody out there has done this before where you get a little bit turned around in an
unfamiliar area next thing you know you've walked a a quite a distance away from where you thought you were going or
where you were trying to get to and regarding that Abbot Foods uh Abbot nutrition is actually what I I think she
called it Abbott Labs right but there is an area there's a there's a building and
a business over there uh I think it could be a distribution center or or like their home office but there's a
place called Abbot nutrition that is over there and that would be 1.1 miles from the Hilton and at that location it
it's if he made it there on foot that's a difficult location that would be about
20 to 25 minutes of walking distance depending on uh that's according to my phone all right I I I was looking that
up but in that area there are plenty of buildings in that area that are not hotels that that one might think in a
disoriented state that they see it and go yeah I'm right by the hotel yeah I'm very close to the hotel I can see it
from here and I'll be there shortly right and it's I I just see the situation of this guy maybe getting
further and further of where he wanted to be and I'm by this point in the story I'm I'm terribly fearful of what could
have happened to him after he got a good distance from that hotel well let's be very clear because it was misreported in
one of the interviews Britney gave the report states that he called at 4:10 and said I you know
I'm I see the hotel and I'll be there shortly and I'm sorry and it's reported that she said that he sounded confused
mhm and that's not what she said at all she actually thought he sounded pretty coherent on the phone call okay what she
was saying in that interview was when he got out of the car when he got out of the Uber when they got back to the hotel
she thought he seemed a little confused used and rightfully so he just fell asleep and woke up and maybe he was
confused cuz he was like wait Hilton are we staying here I thought we're staying
somewhere else I mean who knows they just checked in a couple hours ago it's not a place
that they go frequent so let's be very clear that she didn't think he was confused on the phone call she thought
it was confused getting out of the Uber car and one thing that I think is missing from her story
and I what I feel like is it's a part of the story that she likely just does not
know but the one part that I kind of question here Captain is I know it's only like what she say 3:18 when the
Uber pulls up and by 337 he's kind of missing and there's a phone call right okay so we we have less
than 20 minutes takes place so not a very large window of time but it also seems to me like she doesn't fully know
exactly when Tyler and his friend got separated or where the friend left or went in a different direction than Tyler
well right because one she went back up to the hotel room charge her phone but also she's been drinking at this point
and and quite a bit I mean she said she had three drinks at one place and a few drinks at another place so um there's a
lot of question marks here [Music] this show is sponsored by better help do you look forward to the holidays maybe

that so since that search on that Tuesday what's been happening with the investigation Thursday on February 28th
one of the detectives called me asking me to meet two detectives at me and Tyler's house because they wanted to get
into our Wi-Fi router to try to establish an iMac ID apparently it can trace the phone even if it's dead or get
a better location of the cell phone at any time but the thing about doing that is
that if you you're hooked up to to your Wi-Fi router it has like an expiration date if
you're gone so if we leave on a Saturday it's only going to be in there for like
four or five days and they literally got here like one day too late to get this number out of my
router so the next day Friday um they weren't able to retrieve the router so they called me again and they said do we
need Tyler's box for a cell phone like what we need the box and I save everything I knew it was in here
somewhere so I came back and like I through my whole house and I found like three until I realized that Tyler's
current phone that he has is actually a refurbished phone that he got a couple months ago and that didn't come in a box
say like send it to us some bubble wrap you know and then that Friday I just stopped because like I said we're from
mington there's like three different law enforcement agencies in this town there's like a sades office Sheriff
Department police department I let them all know the situation and I was like really I've been really like on edge
also because the night that we went out I I didn't take my purse so I gave Tyler
my ID to hold his wallet so my ID is in there so what do you think was on Tyler at the time he went missing cigarettes
lighter he had yeah he had cigarettes he had a lighter he had on his wedding ring
um he had his wallet and also your credit card and your ID he didn't have my bank card he just had like the bank
card well because like his his bank account is our bank account it's got like the most money in it but the the
one with all of our you know just money he's got the credit card he's got my ID he's got his ID
um yeah so back to the night that he goes missing you know you said that you went up to the hotel so he's out of
sight his friend's out of sight is there any way that while you're not there there was a confrontation between the
two no when his friend came back without Tyler how was he acting was he acting funny no he didn't well and that's the
thing because obviously the situation is super crazy and people are going to look
at me and they're going to look at our friend just because of the situation but Nei of them well first off neither of
them are they're not very confr they're not confrontational people you know what
I mean like they don't like even raise their voice really they just don't I've never seen any of them like
again I don't know his friends as well as he does but I've never even seen Tyler get into any type of like disagre
or like fight you know what I mean um they've been they've known each other for 10 plus years they went to college
together they're really good friends Tyler talks to him every day they play a lot of um online video games together
like he literally helped design my wedding ring um they've always been really close you know he's come over to
our house multiple times I don't think that it was that he had any part in I think it just was really a
wrong time this wrong situation and at that time like when we were doing it like
when all this was happening obviously we didn't think it would be to almost like
you know over well over a month and we still wouldn't like we didn't think that was going to be the last time we saw him
well and like we said we're not saying the friend's name but because you guys were the last to see him there is going
to be some suspicious and you're putting out this information are you getting any backlash
or harassment online it's been really bad because so when I didn't I wasn't even able to do my
first I didn't even even wasn't even able to get it out there until like March 13th you know and by this point we had
already went and we had passed out over 2,000 Flyers we had went to so many different
places and it's just there were so many people that are asking for story like and I would and I
always tell I always tell the same story but it's like it doesn't matter what I tell the news or the media it's like
however hell they want to spin it which isn't fair because I've talked to like three or four different people and three
or four different media Pages have three or four different stories so everybody looks at me like
why aren't you telling the fool and it's like I'm I am telling the fool I am not
writing these articles like I'm not telling I'm just trying to tell everybody what happened like I'm trying
to be honest I'm trying to I'm doing everything and anything I can to get my husband home and why you're searching
for Clues and talking with the police how has this been on you um it's been awful on so many levels
like Tyler is my best friend and it sucks really bad when you're with somebody for so long and
like you're you like you get into a routine you know what I mean like you're used to coming home and being there like
you're used to them coming home to you every day and it's just like awful because I have like we have a a really
young son who asks for him every day and he for the first like week and a half he
literally woke up every night at the time Tyler you're supposed to get off work and he would sit there and he would
ask for his dad and he would be like Dad Dad for hours last night he literally brought
me Aaron has like a like an old PlayStation controller that Tyler gave him that's broke and he would always sit
there with Tyler well he would play his games and Aaron would have his little controller and he like brought me his
controller and he was like Dad da like it's really hard because he's so young and it's not like I can explain any of
this to him and then I go from being like a stay-at-home mom and a stay-at-home wife
to it's just me so like I am a single parent I'm trying to be an advocate for my husband and I'm trying to like get
story as public as I possibly can and I'm trying to figure out I've never had to pay all the bills before by
myself like I literally this like last month was the first time I ever paid any of the bills like actually sat down like
I had things that I was responsible for but I never sat down and paid the rent you
know what I mean like he did all of that and it's just it's been a learning process it's been really hard yeah and
it just doesn't make any sense for somebody to up and vanish no and that's the thing and I keep I'm like trying so
hard to like let people know because I understand like from the outside looking in if I was just somebody that scrolled
by and read the story I'd be like that's not right like something's wrong like you know know what I means but he's not
this is not the type of he's not the type of person he is a very responsible person like he knows his
responsibilities like he has always been such a wonderful husband like I am spoiled his Aaron gets
anything and everything like you he's just a really good he's a really good dad my kid not even two and he knows
there's like he knows how to spell words like there's words that he knows how to
spell Tyler is literally taught him so much stuff and and it just makes me feel like a bad
mom because I genuinely feel like he like out of the two of us like he is the better parent like he spends so much
time with our son and you can tell that he tly like enjoys to play with him for hours like I'm not talking about
somebody who gets down and like throws a ball with her kid for 15 minutes like this is somebody who spends all of his
time that he can with Aaron and he loves every minute of it like he's always told
me he wanted to be a dad he was so excited when he found out that Aaron was going to be a boy he literally named my
son after the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers like it's just I can't explain anything I can't explain this
stuff to anybody you know what I mean like it's like yeah you hear the story but they don't know me like they don't
know my husband like they don't know the type of life that we live you know it's
like why very exciting people we don't go out and do stuff ever and it just it sucks to try to
constantly like defend yourself and like defend everybody and because you know that's not what happened now has Tyler's
friend been Cooperative with everybody definitely he's um you know he's checked on me and Aaron multiple times you know
we've been passing out flyers like I've had a lot a lot of help from all of our friends and all of our family just like
helping pass out flyers um we actually just did another round around on what is today today is what I we were on
Saturday so on Saturday we did like another thousand flyers and um he's actually the closest one you know
because he lives in Columbus so there have been multiple times where I've caught on like hey I need you to go here
I've had a lot of people like donate flyers and stuff or you know stuff that he can do during the week such as like
um there's a lot of homeless shs in the area and we've had all of them but a lot
of them have really weird hours and he's super cool about dropping off flyers at
all of them and then that one day we found that stuff out about Abit labs and he left work immediately as soon as we
found out and went directly there to just see what it was like and what it looked like type stuff in a lot of
missing person cases we don't have identifiers on somebody's body to to identify them quickly but with Tyler he
has um kind of a unique birth mark okay yeah so Tyler has um a really big birth mark on his right arm it actually goes
it starts with a TP like it starts on his hand on his right hand on his fingers and it goes all the way up his
arm goes up to his shoulder it goes to the um top right of his chest and the the top right of his back as well so
it's very large and it's red um so when he is cold it like changes to purple like it changes colors but it's very
very noticeable so even if like you would if he had if you had to cover that up you would have to wear like gloves a
long sleeve shirt and like something around his neck so what do you think happened to Tyler what do I think
happened if you had to guess I mean it's just this whole situation is just it's really really crazy to me I really think
my personal opinion I think somebody took them there have been Ohio is like number
four in human trafficking there have been like five other men that went missing in Columbus around the same age
as Tyler in the past like month which blows my mind because it's like you don't see any of this stuff in
the media it's like I was asking one of the detectives and he said something about like inducing panic he was like we
don't want to induce Panic I'm like we should be inducing panic like people are literally getting taken and I don't know
why it's like all of a sudden I think I'm just now really noticing it because I'm in this situation but there are
people that literally go missing every single day if you could say something to Tyler right now and knew that he could
hear you uh what would you say to him I would tell him that I'm not ever giving up
ever nobody can stop me try to find him I I will find you I really will find you
and I don't know what kind of situation you're in but um I just I need you to get out of it and I need you to be safe
and I need you to get home and I miss you so much and I really I really just I'm just trying to
I'm just trying so hard to get you home I miss my best friend and my son this is
