00:03:31
let's talk some true crime so at this point you have not talked to Tyler since 4:10 a.m. you've
00:03:54
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
00:04:03
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
00:04:10
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
00:04:17
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
00:04:23
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
00:04:28
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
00:04:36
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
00:04:43
at this point I had already called Franklin County Jail i' had already called all the hospitals I had already
00:04:50
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
00:04:57
somewhere you know what I mean maybe he hurt himself in somebody coms to the hospital I'm like looking at any and all
00:05:02
of these different things to try to I don't know like make some sense of this really
00:05:11
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
00:05:18
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
00:05:23
okay well Kevin's on his way he's on his way right now and we're going to figure
00:05:27
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
00:05:35
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
00:05:40
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
00:05:44
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
00:05:50
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
00:05:56
was like okay and I this man literally probably walked 30 miles he didn't leave till it was dark he went
00:06:05
through every single patch of those woods on foot that day by himself so now that you contacted his parents when do
00:06:12
you contact the police so yeah so Ronda calls me right after um Kevin gets there
00:06:18
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
00:06:26
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
00:06:30
really like I knew it was real because I was already like sick worried but then I
00:06:34
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
00:06:40
so when did you call them I called them around I like 11:30 they actually weren't even there until
00:06:53
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
00:07:05
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
00:07:12
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
00:07:19
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
00:07:26
like and even since I've been going through this there are so many when it comes to missing people it is such like
00:07:32
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
00:07:41
the old thing and I was like are you like are you kidding me well on the missing person's unit there's eight
00:07:46
detectives they did roughly 8,000 cases last year so they're kind of crunched for time anyways and I think anytime
00:07:55
that it is an adult that goes missing they have to start with the idea that they could have went missing because
00:08:02
they wanted to right well and you know I understand people that hear my story and
00:08:07
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
00:08:15
whole like I know that man so well he is literally my best friend like we were really good friends before we ever even
00:08:21
got together you know what I mean like I I know everything about him seriously everything and I know he would
00:08:30
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
00:08:39
not childish like he's a very very blunt person he's very upfront he loves his son more than
00:08:46
anything in the whole world he literally named my son after a freaking football quarterback like I'm being dead serious
00:08:54
him and his parents are him and his mom are so close I've never seen a relationship between like a son and a
00:09:02
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
00:09:09
oh definitely definitely like you take me you take me and my son like you take us completely out of this equation he
00:09:15
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
00:09:24
really like he with his job alone he has so many responsibilities he never missed
00:09:29
a day of work I'm talking like he has never missed a day of work how was the first conversation with law enforcement
00:09:36
it was not good I had so I filed the police report he had like got it in the system around
00:09:46
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
00:09:54
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
00:09:59
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
00:10:06
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
00:10:13
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
00:10:21
probably around like 5 six o'clock and he the detective called me and I mean he wasn't very
00:10:30
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
00:10:36
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
00:10:43
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
00:10:49
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
00:10:59
like super new like I didn't go to sleep I still haven't been in bed at this time
00:11:04
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
00:11:11
search from what I've heard when did that search take place technically he went missing on the
00:11:17
24th they didn't do their first search until Tuesday they're they're tell they're
00:11:23
telling me it's they've been doing everything yeah and when I talked to detectives they they explained to me the
00:11:30
search and it it seemed very extensive they also pulled a lot of security footage from the mall yeah so the first
00:11:38
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
00:11:51
to sleep until Tuesday Sunday night after I actually got back to L that night I put I put Aaron to bed and I
00:11:57
told her I'm I asked her if it was okay for um for me to leave if she would mind
00:12:03
like Aaron was asleep and she was completely fine with it and me and couple of Tyler's friends we went back
00:12:09
up East and we searched all those woods by ourselves and this was before so this
00:12:16
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
00:12:27
Nick uh and these are just you know friends of ours um so we got there probably around 1 one in the
00:12:37
morning and we just we just started searching like we went everywhere I'm talking like we didn't leave there until
00:12:45
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
00:12:52
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
00:12:58
night manager I let him know the situation showed him a picture of my husband you know talked to him for a
00:13:03
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
00:13:09
really appreciate it then we walked down to easn security I let them know the situation I talked to them I told them
00:13:16
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
00:13:22
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
00:13:28
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
00:13:37
there for for hours and when I had went and talked to East in security there was
00:13:42
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
00:13:49
on shift he was like I just learned um about about your husband and we're still trying to get everything together he was
00:13:55
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
00:14:00
the report like 12 hours ago it's pretty much what he was saying I was like okay
00:14:05
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
00:14:11
started pulling footage and that they saw Tyler walking back to the hotel at 4:15 they saw them walking to the hotel
00:14:20
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
00:14:28
minutes you know I see the hotel I'm walking and they said they had him on camera walking towards towards the
00:14:34
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
00:14:45
body type like same size and same height you know what I mean like and apparently
00:14:52
uh with the way those cameras work at night time I guess they're not the most perfect Vision so they they assumed that
00:15:01
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
00:15:11
at that at that moment he's leaving or with you that's what I didn't understand because when Tyler had called
00:15:19
me around 410 you know he was like he was right beside me and then I realized that when me and
00:15:29
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
00:15:37
know the East area very well yeah okay so like we walked like if we were staying on the corner room from the
00:15:42
Hilton we walked to the left and we both were kind of like on that main strip and
00:15:48
we both like walked down the street but like he did one side and I did the other
00:15:52
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
00:15:59
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
00:16:06
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
00:16:12
just like walking down to see if we might see him somewhere well there's tons of shops around there and there's
00:16:18
tons of cameras it's surprising that he's not picked up on any of the footage anywhere so back to the search that
00:16:27
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
00:16:36
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
00:16:46
okay trying to like pretty much think like Tyler thinks I don't know it probably sounds stupid but we're like
00:16:52
okay if he said that he's walking out of the woods and he sees the Hilton we went
00:16:57
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
00:17:04
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
00:17:13
that he's not even looking at the correct hotel right exactly like he's looking at the wrong place and that's
00:17:18
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
00:17:27
the actual Town Center like the shopping center and it looks like they're all made by like all these hotels in the
00:17:33
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
00:17:39
the Hilton puts out the same amount of light at night time so we went around there as well so you guys are searching
00:17:46
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
00:17:53
that Tuesday and then they contact you after they called me and pretty much said I just want to let you know that we
00:18:01
searched um the ponds behind Costco and we've been working on pinging his phone and we pinged his phone around Costco
00:18:10
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
00:18:18
automatically goes to like that cell phone tower but that radius is like two miles so the phone could be anywhere in
00:18:25
that two miles it doesn't necessarily have to be like a the tower so they subpoenaed his phone records They
00:18:31
subpoena his phone records oh like they still don't have them and it's like over
00:18:35
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
00:18:42
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
00:18:48
do to it type deal thing have you thought about taking screenshots of your call log I uh went to like my cuz I
00:18:57
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
00:19:03
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
00:19:12
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
00:19:20
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
00:19:26
enforcement during the surgery were they were using dogs uh they searched the woods did they search the ponds search
00:19:34
the ponds I guess they have dogs out and they said that that the dogs actually hit on one of the
00:19:40
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
00:19:48
actually searched that same Pond again like the ponds in that area had been search multiple times they have had
00:19:55
multiple different searches like GD searches and different like I know there are like wooded areas there and since he
00:20:02
did say like Woods on the phone the last time they've been pushing towards the woods more you
00:20:08
know like when they do search which is understandable and they just don't have it's like there's like like there's
00:20:16
literally nothing there like there's no like not a shoe not a wallet not literally nothing at all and Tyler
00:20:23
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
00:20:31
media accounts or do you have access to Tyler's social media accounts we don't share any
00:20:37
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
00:20:48
told not to try it type deal thing I think that the detectives are actually like looking into his Facebook and stuff
00:20:57
but um as far like I I know he has like a Snapchat I don't know what his password to that is
00:21:02
um I know like the password to it is Gmail and I had actually contacted the detectives to make sure that I could
00:21:09
continuously check his Gmail because like our friend that was with us at night he's super like techy and he's
00:21:15
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
00:21:22
with Gmail like Gmail like literally tracks her phone and that was something that was
00:21:27
the detectives also ended up finding and that caught him down by Abbot lab and then that's why they did another search
00:21:35
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
00:21:44
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
00:21:52
financial records oh yeah so I basically like it's just flagged and um we have a
00:21:58
lady at the bank who just checks on it constantly and like anytime there's any type of notice that comes on there like
00:22:08
she literally calls me to tell me that my Netflix came out like type stuff you know what I mean like anything that pops
00:22:13
up on there but there hasn't been any activity from Tyler like nothing this is just weird hearing this
00:22:27
from Britney's perspective hearing it directly from somebody that was there somebody that was searching for their
00:22:35
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
00:22:42
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
00:22:48
things here I'm trying to think through a lot of things as I visualize the story
00:22:54
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
00:23:03
they go out around 8:30 and she was very detailed in their timeline and what they were doing and
00:23:10
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
00:23:19
for and communication drops off yeah but you wonder the call before at 3:37 is he loost
00:23:28
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
00:23:36
kind of really out of the box and and and very likely not super important but she keeps talking about how exhausted he
00:23:44
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
00:23:52
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
00:24:00
um drunk Tyler may have been one just dis disoriented from waking up in an Uber and now you're in front of your
00:24:08
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
00:24:15
know he's not super equipped or dressed well for that temperature at that hour there's a lot of things factoring into
00:24:22
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
00:24:31
it until he would have just hit the wall to be completely exhausted right this is
00:24:37
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
00:24:46
into somebody but this makes it very unique in this case because she has the records
00:24:54
of when they paid for things and roughly what the bill was mhm so when she's saying I think he had
00:25:00
three drinks that's based off of also looking at the bill and just knowing the total and
00:25:07
going well I had a couple so he must have had a few and in most missing person cases
00:25:14
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
00:25:21
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
00:25:31
doing hours before he went missing yeah and the thing though too is you know and
00:25:36
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
00:25:43
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
00:25:50
try to analyze this stuff from the outside looking in when you talk about alcohol I know my personal experience
00:25:58
with drinking is it's you can't always figure out how intoxicated you might be in one specific setting I know there are
00:26:08
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
00:26:13
drinks and I feel like I've been drinking all night there's a lot of factors that go into that exhaustion how
00:26:18
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
00:26:24
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
00:26:31
know very well and at some point I just picture him you know thinking he is in a
00:26:38
certain location getting slightly turned around and going I know it's right up here I'll just keep walking this way and
00:26:45
then we've done this before everybody out there has done this before where you get a little bit turned around in an
00:26:50
unfamiliar area next thing you know you've walked a a quite a distance away from where you thought you were going or
00:26:58
where you were trying to get to and regarding that Abbot Foods uh Abbot nutrition is actually what I I think she
00:27:06
called it Abbott Labs right but there is an area there's a there's a building and
00:27:11
a business over there uh I think it could be a distribution center or or like their home office but there's a
00:27:17
place called Abbot nutrition that is over there and that would be 1.1 miles from the Hilton and at that location it
00:27:28
it's if he made it there on foot that's a difficult location that would be about
00:27:34
20 to 25 minutes of walking distance depending on uh that's according to my phone all right I I I was looking that
00:27:42
up but in that area there are plenty of buildings in that area that are not hotels that that one might think in a
00:27:51
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
00:27:57
from here and I'll be there shortly right and it's I I just see the situation of this guy maybe getting
00:28:04
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
00:28:14
have happened to him after he got a good distance from that hotel well let's be very clear because it was misreported in
00:28:22
one of the interviews Britney gave the report states that he called at 4:10 and said I you know
00:28:30
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
00:28:39
mhm and that's not what she said at all she actually thought he sounded pretty coherent on the phone call okay what she
00:28:47
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
00:28:55
she thought he seemed a little confused used and rightfully so he just fell asleep and woke up and maybe he was
00:29:03
confused cuz he was like wait Hilton are we staying here I thought we're staying
00:29:07
somewhere else I mean who knows they just checked in a couple hours ago it's not a place
00:29:13
that they go frequent so let's be very clear that she didn't think he was confused on the phone call she thought
00:29:21
it was confused getting out of the Uber car and one thing that I think is missing from her story
00:29:28
and I what I feel like is it's a part of the story that she likely just does not
00:29:33
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
00:29:40
Uber pulls up and by 337 he's kind of missing and there's a phone call right okay so we we have less
00:29:49
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
00:29:58
exactly when Tyler and his friend got separated or where the friend left or went in a different direction than Tyler
00:30:08
well right because one she went back up to the hotel room charge her phone but also she's been drinking at this point
00:30:14
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
00:30:22
lot of question marks here [Music] this show is sponsored by better help do you look forward to the holidays maybe

00:32:26
that so since that search on that Tuesday what's been happening with the investigation Thursday on February 28th
00:32:35
one of the detectives called me asking me to meet two detectives at me and Tyler's house because they wanted to get
00:32:40
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
00:32:48
a better location of the cell phone at any time but the thing about doing that is
00:32:54
that if you you're hooked up to to your Wi-Fi router it has like an expiration date if
00:33:00
you're gone so if we leave on a Saturday it's only going to be in there for like
00:33:05
four or five days and they literally got here like one day too late to get this number out of my
00:33:10
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
00:33:19
need Tyler's box for a cell phone like what we need the box and I save everything I knew it was in here
00:33:24
somewhere so I came back and like I through my whole house and I found like three until I realized that Tyler's
00:33:31
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
00:33:37
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
00:33:42
mington there's like three different law enforcement agencies in this town there's like a sades office Sheriff
00:33:47
Department police department I let them all know the situation and I was like really I've been really like on edge
00:33:54
also because the night that we went out I I didn't take my purse so I gave Tyler
00:33:58
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
00:34:08
lighter he had yeah he had cigarettes he had a lighter he had on his wedding ring
00:34:12
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
00:34:20
card well because like his his bank account is our bank account it's got like the most money in it but the the
00:34:27
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
00:34:35
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
00:34:44
sight his friend's out of sight is there any way that while you're not there there was a confrontation between the
00:34:51
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
00:35:02
thing because obviously the situation is super crazy and people are going to look
00:35:06
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
00:35:13
them are they're not very confr they're not confrontational people you know what
00:35:17
I mean like they don't like even raise their voice really they just don't I've never seen any of them like
00:35:26
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
00:35:35
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
00:35:41
together they're really good friends Tyler talks to him every day they play a lot of um online video games together
00:35:48
like he literally helped design my wedding ring um they've always been really close you know he's come over to
00:35:55
our house multiple times I don't think that it was that he had any part in I think it just was really a
00:36:06
wrong time this wrong situation and at that time like when we were doing it like
00:36:13
when all this was happening obviously we didn't think it would be to almost like
00:36:19
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
00:36:24
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
00:36:31
to be some suspicious and you're putting out this information are you getting any backlash
00:36:40
or harassment online it's been really bad because so when I didn't I wasn't even able to do my
00:36:48
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
00:36:57
already went and we had passed out over 2,000 Flyers we had went to so many different
00:37:03
places and it's just there were so many people that are asking for story like and I would and I
00:37:13
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
00:37:20
however hell they want to spin it which isn't fair because I've talked to like three or four different people and three
00:37:25
or four different media Pages have three or four different stories so everybody looks at me like
00:37:33
why aren't you telling the fool and it's like I'm I am telling the fool I am not
00:37:37
writing these articles like I'm not telling I'm just trying to tell everybody what happened like I'm trying
00:37:43
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
00:37:48
for Clues and talking with the police how has this been on you um it's been awful on so many levels
00:37:59
like Tyler is my best friend and it sucks really bad when you're with somebody for so long and
00:38:08
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
00:38:14
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
00:38:20
young son who asks for him every day and he for the first like week and a half he
00:38:26
literally woke up every night at the time Tyler you're supposed to get off work and he would sit there and he would
00:38:31
ask for his dad and he would be like Dad Dad for hours last night he literally brought
00:38:36
me Aaron has like a like an old PlayStation controller that Tyler gave him that's broke and he would always sit
00:38:43
there with Tyler well he would play his games and Aaron would have his little controller and he like brought me his
00:38:48
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
00:38:54
this to him and then I go from being like a stay-at-home mom and a stay-at-home wife
00:39:00
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
00:39:08
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
00:39:14
myself like I literally this like last month was the first time I ever paid any of the bills like actually sat down like
00:39:21
I had things that I was responsible for but I never sat down and paid the rent you
00:39:27
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
00:39:34
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
00:39:42
hard to like let people know because I understand like from the outside looking in if I was just somebody that scrolled
00:39:52
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
00:39:58
this is not the type of he's not the type of person he is a very responsible person like he knows his
00:40:04
responsibilities like he has always been such a wonderful husband like I am spoiled his Aaron gets
00:40:14
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
00:40:21
there's like he knows how to spell words like there's words that he knows how to
00:40:24
spell Tyler is literally taught him so much stuff and and it just makes me feel like a bad
00:40:31
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
00:40:40
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
00:40:47
somebody who gets down and like throws a ball with her kid for 15 minutes like this is somebody who spends all of his
00:40:53
time that he can with Aaron and he loves every minute of it like he's always told
00:40:58
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
00:41:02
son after the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers like it's just I can't explain anything I can't explain this
00:41:10
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
00:41:15
know my husband like they don't know the type of life that we live you know it's
00:41:19
like why very exciting people we don't go out and do stuff ever and it just it sucks to try to
00:41:27
constantly like defend yourself and like defend everybody and because you know that's not what happened now has Tyler's
00:41:35
friend been Cooperative with everybody definitely he's um you know he's checked on me and Aaron multiple times you know
00:41:44
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
00:41:51
helping pass out flyers um we actually just did another round around on what is today today is what I we were on
00:42:01
Saturday so on Saturday we did like another thousand flyers and um he's actually the closest one you know
00:42:08
because he lives in Columbus so there have been multiple times where I've caught on like hey I need you to go here
00:42:14
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
00:42:20
um there's a lot of homeless shs in the area and we've had all of them but a lot
00:42:24
of them have really weird hours and he's super cool about dropping off flyers at
00:42:29
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
00:42:35
found out and went directly there to just see what it was like and what it looked like type stuff in a lot of
00:42:40
missing person cases we don't have identifiers on somebody's body to to identify them quickly but with Tyler he
00:42:49
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
00:42:58
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
00:43:03
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
00:43:15
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
00:43:24
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
00:43:31
long sleeve shirt and like something around his neck so what do you think happened to Tyler what do I think
00:43:39
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
00:43:48
my personal opinion I think somebody took them there have been Ohio is like number
00:43:55
four in human trafficking there have been like five other men that went missing in Columbus around the same age
00:44:02
as Tyler in the past like month which blows my mind because it's like you don't see any of this stuff in
00:44:12
the media it's like I was asking one of the detectives and he said something about like inducing panic he was like we
00:44:19
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
00:44:25
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
00:44:32
people that literally go missing every single day if you could say something to Tyler right now and knew that he could
00:44:41
hear you uh what would you say to him I would tell him that I'm not ever giving up
00:44:49
ever nobody can stop me try to find him I I will find you I really will find you
00:44:56
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
00:45:03
and I need you to get home and I miss you so much and I really I really just I'm just trying to
00:45:12
I'm just trying so hard to get you home I miss my best friend and my son this is
00:45:24
