00:02:31
a beer let's talk some true crime so at this point you have not talked to Tyler since for 10 a.m.
00:02:54
you've been searching it's now past daylight it's 10:30 in the morning you don't know what to do and it's serious
00:03:03
and you need to call Tyler's parents I'm gonna turn the whirring anybody like that was the one thing that I was
00:03:10
terrified to do I was like I can't called mom I can't like I cannot call her and tell her this like I I have to
00:03:17
see have to go find them first and you know like he's gonna be so mad at him and his parents are so close and he's
00:03:23
going to be so not if I call his mom right now and regretting he was like you have to check out of here in an hour and
00:03:29
a half you think then where he's going to go then where we going to do so I sat down and I called I called Wanda and
00:03:36
I'll put this in situation I don't know what to do and she was like okay calm down
00:03:41
I'm sure everything's fine you know and at this point I had already called Franklin County Jail I've already called
00:03:48
all the hospitals I had already called you don't even like unprojected all options maybe he got a
00:03:55
public intox maybe he's in jail somewhere you mean maybe he hurt himself in somebody come to the hospital I'm like
00:04:02
looking at any of these different things to try to I don't know like make sense into this really well you know I tell
00:04:13
Wanda and she's like okay you know don't vote figure out yet you know jazz me if I had
00:04:18
called all the jails and ask if I'd call hospitals and all that stuff smells yeah
00:04:22
and she's like okay well Kevin's on his way he's on his way right now and we're gonna figure it out looks like okay so
00:04:29
it took Kevin probably about 45 minutes to get there so after an office on her Adams like let's go let's go drive
00:04:38
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
00:04:42
something I don't know so we get back in the car being out and drive around again
00:04:45
so Kevin gets there and you know he's like what happened like what do you guys do what what why how I told him
00:04:51
everything you know stories and he was like okay and he was like imma go find him
00:04:55
I need to start walkin and I was like okay and I this man literally probably walk through
00:05:02
miles he didn't lead till it was dark he went through every single patch ATO's was on foot that day by himself so now
00:05:11
that you contacted his parents when do you contact the police so yeah so long ecause me right after Kevin gets there
00:05:19
and she's like Brittany it's like we were half of Iowa missing-persons report right now and I just just like no like
00:05:26
I'm sure he was kind of she was like Brittany and it was just like right when she told me that I got really real
00:05:31
really like I knew it was real because I was already like sick worried but then and I was just like a whole other level
00:05:36
you don't even like I just I was just already terrified and I don't have to like so when did you call them I called
00:05:43
them around like 11:30 they actually weren't even there until 12:30 um I met them in the parking lot of the Hilton
00:05:58
and I gave the officer my mescal you know I told him everything I said this is what he is wearing this is what last
00:06:08
time I seen let's not talk to him and he literally the first thing this man said
00:06:13
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 29 year old man
00:06:20
can leave on his own of course well technically that's the law yeah I know it is the law but it's like I feel like
00:06:27
and even since I've been going through this there's so many when it comes to missing people it is such like a broad
00:06:33
area like there's not really a place to start like they literally like move 72 hours will let you know type deal thing
00:06:42
and I was like really well in the missing persons unit there's eight detectives they did roughly 8,000 cases
00:06:50
last year so they're kind of crunched for time anyways and I think anytime that it is an adult that goes missing
00:06:58
they have to start with the idea that they could have went missing because I wanted to write well and you know I
00:07:04
understand people like hear my story and people that see this they're like half of them are like oh you probably just
00:07:13
walked away and I and put this on my whole like I know that man so well he is literally my best
00:07:18
friend like we were really good friends with what we ever even got together you mean like I know everything about him
00:07:26
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
00:07:37
tell me that he doesn't play games he's not childish like he's a very very blunt
00:07:42
person he's very upfront he loved his son more than anything in the whole world he literally named my son after a
00:07:51
freaking football quarterback like I'm being dead serious him and his parents are him his mom are so close I've never
00:07:59
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
00:08:06
you he would still be contacting his mother oh definitely definitely like you take me you take me and my son you take
00:08:14
us completely out of this equation he would not do this to his mom or dad but not as mom no it's not a family like not
00:08:23
a friend he's a really like he was his job alone he had so many responsibilities he didn't never miss a
00:08:30
day of work I'm talking about he has never missed a day of work how was the first conversation with law enforcement
00:08:36
it was not good I had so I filed a police report he's like got it in the system around like 1:00 p.m. and you
00:08:48
know me madam we still around and we're looking in all these places and we've met up with Kevin a couple times and it
00:08:56
was about 5:00 and Kevin's like Courtney I think I think you need to go get Aaron
00:09:00
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
00:09:07
themselves like we've you know I mean like I can't and I can't leave them but I had to like I needed to go get my son
00:09:13
and so I did so Ivan took me back to my in-laws house in circle though I have literally just got there so this is
00:09:21
probably around like five six o'clock and he the detective called me and I mean he wasn't very nice but at
00:09:32
the same time like I understand that your jobs not to be nice to me I mean like your job is to find my husband
00:09:38
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
00:09:44
have a load well - you mean like your job is to find my husband so but the first now I know there's like literally
00:09:52
like 46 days later I know this but that day when he called me this is like super
00:10:00
new look I didn't go to sleep I saw under the bed at this time have you been trying to call Tyler's phone I'm calling
00:10:07
it all day all day the cops did a pretty extensive search from what I've heard when did that search take place I'm
00:10:16
technically doing this you know the 24th they didn't do their first search until
00:10:21
Tuesday they're telling me they've been doing everything yeah when I talked to detectives they they explained to me the
00:10:30
search and it seemed very extensive they also pulled a lot of security footage from the mall yeah so the first day so
00:10:40
this was Monday and I'll tell you again I didn't I didn't go to bed until Tuesday I didn't sleep and I didn't go
00:10:51
to please until Tuesday Sunday night after I actually got back so long that that night I put I put her in the bed
00:10:58
and I told her I asked her if it was okay for me to leave if she would mind like Erin was asleep and she was
00:11:05
completely fine with it and he and a couple of Tyler's friends and backup Houston and we searched all those woods
00:11:12
by ourselves and this was before so this was like Sunday night going to early hours of Monday so we we
00:11:23
were there went with you guys it was me um Alex and Nick and these are just you know friends of ours so we got there I'm
00:11:36
always around one more in the morning and we just we just started searching like
00:11:41
little everywhere I'm popping like we didn't leave there until oh I'm sorry you know it's me Alex and Nick is then
00:11:49
two of Tyler's employees actually met us up there as well - two younger kids that
00:11:54
work for him soon as we got there I went directly to the Hilton I spoke with the
00:11:58
night manager I loved him in this situation sort of the picture of my husband you know talked to him for a
00:12:04
minute and he was like yeah let me uh let me see if I can start pulling footage and I was like okay cool like I
00:12:09
really appreciate it then we walk down the eastern security I let them in the situation I talk to them I told them you
00:12:17
know I'm going to be out here and I just want you know like these are my two friends like we're going to go and we're
00:12:24
going to search to see if we can and there are completely cool with it they're like yeah totally go ahead again
00:12:29
it's also like 1:00 a.m. so nobody's there and you know we go out there and we're there for four hours and when I
00:12:40
wouldn't talk to Eastern security there was actually an officer for CPD in the area and he was super nice he came up to
00:12:47
me you know he told me is like I just got on shift he was like I just learned about about your husband and we're still
00:12:54
trying to get everything together he was like don't think we haven't started yet
00:12:57
he was like but we literally just got there we haven't even got we just got the report like 12 hours ago it's pretty
00:13:03
much she was saying like okay well I'm here so I'm looking that's what I'm doing and then security office they told
00:13:11
me they had already started pulling footage you know they saw Tyler walking back to the hotel at 4:15 they saw him
00:13:19
walking to the hotel for 15 which to me made perfect sense because if we're on the phone at 4:10 and he said I'll be
00:13:28
there couple minutes you know I see the hotel I'm walking and they said they haven't long term are walking towards
00:13:33
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
00:13:43
the same body type like same size and same height you know I mean like and apparently with
00:13:54
boy those cameras look at night time I guess they're not the most perfect vision so they they assumed that it was
00:14:02
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
00:14:12
moment he's leaving or with you that's why I didn't understand because when Tyler had called me around 4:10 you know
00:14:23
he was like he was out beside me and then I realized that when me and we got off the phone we both kind of like but
00:14:33
we didn't like walk up the street like walk to do you know the Easton area very well yeah okay so like we walk as if we
00:14:42
were staying in the corner round from the Hilton we walk to the left and leave those were kind of like on that main
00:14:47
strip and we both like walk down the street but like he did one side and I did the other side like I'm sorry we
00:14:55
were both on the same side of the street but he went one direction and I went the
00:14:58
other direction and I don't know if that was then you know so we were like he could have been turning around could
00:15:06
have been at that time so we were just not like we both went out and like we're like searching you look kinda like were
00:15:13
just like walking down to see if we might see him somewhere well there's tons of shops around there
00:15:18
and there's tons of the cameras it's surprising that he's not picked up on any of the footage anywhere so back to
00:15:26
the search that night so we go and we search a bunch of stuff we don't stop until it was daylight like 7 7 or 8 in
00:15:36
the morning and we're trying to look at this point like me and Nick and Alex and
00:15:44
Marisa were just I'm polite ok time to like pretty much sing like fire things I don't know the probably sounds stupid
00:15:52
but we're like okay if he said that he's walking out of the woods and he sees the
00:15:56
Hilton we went to every single patch of woods and like got around to see it like
00:16:03
if you could see the Hilton in the spot woods we searched it well Tyler doesn't this area he's been drinking he's
00:16:10
exhausted so is it it's it's possible that he's not even looking at the correct hotel why exactly like he's
00:16:17
looking at the wrong place and that something also considered so there is a I think it's a Marriott a little bit
00:16:25
down from it's like on the other side of the actual town center like the shopping
00:16:29
center and it looks like they're all made by like all these hotels area it's same companies attendants and it looks
00:16:37
just like the Hilton it's a little smaller but it looks just like the hell puts out the same amount of light at
00:16:42
nighttime so we went around there as well so you guys are searching everywhere you don't know when the cops
00:16:49
are going to search or if they're going to search but they end up searching on that Tuesday and then they contact you
00:16:56
after they called me and pretty much said I just want to let you know that we searched the ponds behind Costco and
00:17:06
we've been working on ping her phone and rapini zone around Costco but I guess what it was is like I mistook it because
00:17:14
there's a cell tower back there and if you ping a sonar but it automatically goes to like that cell phone tower but
00:17:21
that radius is like two miles so its own could be anywhere in that two miles it doesn't necessarily have to be like a
00:17:28
scour so they subpoenaed his phone records they subpoenaed phone records oh like they still have them and it's like
00:17:35
oh one month ago like all the beginning of March have they subpoenaed your phone
00:17:40
records yet not that I know of but I mean I've been more than welcome because like you know here's my cell phone you
00:17:47
can look through it do whatever you need to do to it type deal thing have you thought about taking screenshots of your
00:17:53
call log I went to like mark because I Verizon so I don't like my Verizon and we did this with toilets and Tyler's on
00:18:02
a phone plan with his parents and I'm on one with mine so I when we got online and I took a picture of my call log and
00:18:11
I sent it to the detectives and I did the same thing for Tyler's like this is what I know it's not exactly things you
00:18:19
need but this is what I can get as of right now this was like Monday I think Monday or Tuesday that I got that
00:18:26
to them and law enforcement during the search work they were using dogs they searched the woods did they searched the
00:18:33
ponds searched the ponds I guess they have dogs out and they said that that the dogs actually hit on the little pond
00:18:40
so they should I'll get completed sonar about the desire team and there was nothing in them and then they
00:18:49
actually searched that same pond again like the pause in that area has been searched multiple times they have had
00:18:55
multiple different searches like read searches and different like I know there are like what are the areas there and
00:19:02
then he did say like was on the phone the last time they've been pushing towards the woods more you know like
00:19:09
when they do search which is understandable and they just felt had it's like it's like it's like there's
00:19:16
really nothing there like there's no it's not a shoe not a wallet not literally nothing at all
00:19:23
Tyler doesn't have a transportation app like uber on his phone that you know of that I know of now do you guys share
00:19:31
social media accounts or do you have access to Tyler's social media accounts we don't share any no we do not share
00:19:41
any I don't have access I mean I think I know this password is but I was told not
00:19:49
to try it I feel things I think that the detectives are actually like looking into his Facebook and stuff but on as
00:19:58
far look I know you guys like a snapchat I don't notice Catholic I got is I know
00:20:04
like the password to his Gmail and I had actually contacted the detectives to make sure that I could continuously
00:20:10
check his Gmail because like our paren that was was it something he's super like techie and he's like told me like a
00:20:17
lot of things about what apparently if you have a galaxy you can and like you're signed up with Gmail like Gmail
00:20:23
like totally tracked your phone and that was something those the detectives also
00:20:29
ended up finding and that caught him down by Abbott and then that's why they did another
00:20:35
search on it I think that was the self part of Easton right so they get a hit Abbott Labs that's pretty far from
00:20:43
Easton walking wise if I'm correct I think it's about half a mile and then where it stopped do you have access to
00:20:52
his financial records oh yeah so I basically like it's just flagged and we have a lady at the bank who just checks
00:21:03
on it constantly and like anytime there's any type of notice that comes on there like she literally calls me to
00:21:10
tell me that my Netflix came out like type stuff you know what I mean like anything that pops up on there but there
00:21:15
hasn't been any activity from Tyler like nothing this is just weird hearing this from
00:21:28
Britney's perspective hearing it directly from somebody that was there somebody that was searching for their
00:21:35
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
00:21:42
to it that's really like got my head spinning right now captain I I'm kind of like questioning a lot of different
00:21:49
things here I'm trying to think through a lot of things as I visualize the story
00:21:55
as she tells it one thing that I that I was thinking about along the way is kind
00:22:01
of going back to their night out they go out around 8:30 and she was very detailed in their timeline and what they
00:22:10
were doing and then he goes missing I'm calling it for 10 for 11 a.m. is when he
00:22:16
goes missing that seems to be when he's truly unaccounted for and communication drops off hey but you wonder the call
00:22:25
before at 3:37 is he lost and he just doesn't know it yet right and how far could he be from the actual hotel the
00:22:35
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
00:22:42
talking about how exhausted he would have been or or she thinks that he is right the last time she sees him I
00:22:49
didn't hear any mention of you know we we had we had food at this place you know I'm factoring all these things
00:22:57
in how tired this guy could be how how drunk Tyler may have been one just disoriented
00:23:05
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
00:23:13
factoring in all these things here he's not super you know he's not super equipped or dressed well for that
00:23:18
temperature at that hour there was a lot of things factoring into the to the thought that I have a hard time
00:23:25
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
00:23:33
and to be completely exhausted right he was this is a area that has had its ups and down as far as reputation so the
00:23:44
more he travels the more likely he is to run into somebody but this makes it very
00:23:50
unique in this case because she has the records of when they paid for things and
00:23:56
roughly what the bill was so when she's saying I think he had three drinks that's based off of also looking at the
00:24:04
bill in just knowing the total Grand going well I had a couple so he must have had a few and and most missing
00:24:13
person cases take pride Schafer's for example we don't know how much he drank we don't know what he drank we we don't
00:24:21
have a clue with Mara Murray we don't know if she was drinking or not I mean this we have
00:24:28
detailed accounts of what he was doing hours before he went missing yeah and the thing though too is you know and
00:24:37
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
00:24:44
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
00:24:51
try to analyze this stuff from the outside looking in when you talk about alcohol I know my personal experience
00:24:58
with drinking is it's you can't always figure out how intoxicated you might be in one specific setting I know there are
00:25:08
times where I'll have two or three drinks and I'm sober as a judge there's other times I have two or three drinks
00:25:14
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
00:25:19
ate what what have you been doing that day and I just kind of keep going back to the thought and the feeling that I
00:25:26
feel like this guy I feel like Tyler got disoriented I feel like he's in a place
00:25:31
that he doesn't know very well and at some point I just picture him you know thinking he is in a certain location
00:25:39
getting slightly turned around and going I know it's right up here I'll just keep
00:25:44
walking this way and then we've done this before everybody out there has done this before where you get a little
00:25:50
turned around in an unfamiliar area next thing you know you've walked a quite a distance away from where you thought you
00:25:58
were going or where you were trying to get to and regarding that Abbot foods Abbott nutrition is actually what I
00:26:06
think she called it Abbott Labs right but there is an area there's a there's a building and a business over there I
00:26:13
think it could be a distribution center or like their home office but there's a place called Abbott nutrition that is
00:26:20
over there and that would be one point one miles from the Hilton and at that location it's if he made it there on
00:26:31
foot that's a difficult location that would be about 20 to 25 minutes of walking distance depending on that's
00:26:39
according to my phone all right I I was looking that up but in that area there are plenty of buildings in that area
00:26:47
that are not hotels they that one might think in a disoriented state that they see it and go yeah I'm right by the
00:26:54
hotel yeah I'm very close to the hotel I can see it from here and I'll be there shortly
00:27:00
right and it's I just see the situation of this guy maybe getting further and further of where he wanted to be and I'm
00:27:09
by this point in the story I'm I'm terribly fearful of what could have happened to him after he got a good
00:27:17
distance from that hotel well let's be very clear because it was misreported and one of the interviews Brittney cave
00:27:25
the report states that he called at 4:10 and said you know I'm I see the hotel and I'll be there shortly and I'm sorry
00:27:35
and it's reported that she said that he sounded confused hmm and that's not what
00:27:41
she said at all she actually thought he sounded pretty coherent on the phone call okay what she was saying in that
00:27:49
interview was when he got out of the car when he got out of the uber when they got back to the hotel
00:27:55
she thought he seemed a little confused and rightfully so he just fell asleep and woke up and maybe
00:28:03
he was confused because he was like wait Hilden are we staying here I thought we're staying somewhere else right I
00:28:10
mean who knows they just checked in a couple hours ago it's not a place that they go frequent
00:28:15
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
00:28:23
of the uber car and one thing that I think is missing from her story and what I feel like is it's a part of the story
00:28:31
that she likely just does not know but the one part that I kind of questioned here captain is I know it's only like
00:28:39
what'd 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
00:28:49
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
00:28:56
know exactly when Tyler and his friend got separated or where the friend long after or went in a different direction
00:29:07
than Tyler well right because of one she went back up to the hotel room charged her phone but also she's been drinking
00:29:13
at this point and and quite a bit I mean she said she had three drinks at one place and a few drinks in another place
00:29:20
so there's a lot of question marks here [Music] if there is something interfering with

00:31:54
what's been happening with the investigation Thursday Federico Nate well if it's called me
00:32:02
asking me to meet two detectives in the entire house because they wanted to get into our Wi-Fi router to try to
00:32:08
establish an iMac ID apparently it can't raise the phone even if it's dead or get
00:32:13
a better location of the cell phone at any time but the thing about doing that is that if you if you're hooked up to
00:32:22
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
00:32:29
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
00:32:35
router so the next day Friday they weren't able to retrieve the router so they called me again and they said we
00:32:44
need Tyler's box for a cellphone with what we need the blocks and I save everything I knew it was in here
00:32:50
somewhere so I came back and they're like those for my whole house and I found like three until I realized that
00:32:56
Tyler's current phone that he has actually a refurbished phone that he got a couple months ago and that didn't come
00:33:02
in a box say like spinach was in bubble wrap you know then that Friday I just stopped because like I said were from
00:33:07
Bloomington there's like three different law enforcement agencies in this town there's like at Sadie's office Sheriff
00:33:12
Department police department I let them all know the situation and I was like really I've been really like on edge
00:33:19
also because and I thought we went out I didn't take my purse so I gave Tyler my
00:33:24
view to hold his wallet so my ideas in there so what do you think was on Tyler at the time he went missing cigarettes
00:33:33
my god yeah cigarettes he had a lighter he had on his wedding ring he had his wallet and also your credit
00:33:41
card and your ID he didn't have my bank card he just had like the bank card well cuz
00:33:46
like his his bank balances so our bank accounts got like no money in it well like the one with all of our you know
00:33:54
just money he's got the credit card he's got my ID he's got his ID yeah so back to the night that he goes missing
00:34:05
you know you said that you went up to the hotel so he's out of sight his friends out of sight is there any way
00:34:11
that why you're not there there was a confrontation between the two when his friend came back without Tyler how was
00:34:22
he acting was he acting funny you know he didn't cuddle and that's the thing because obviously the situation is super
00:34:30
crazy and people are going to look at me and they don't look at our friend just because of the situation but then first
00:34:38
of all neither of them are we're not very conference they're not confrontational people you mean like
00:34:43
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
00:34:53
friends as well as he does but I've never even seen Tyler get into any type of like disagreement or like fight you
00:35:01
know what I mean they've been they've known each other for 10 plus years they went to college together they're really
00:35:08
good friends powers talked to him every day they play a lot of online video games together like he literally helped
00:35:14
design my wedding ring they've always been really close you know he's come over to her house multiple times I don't
00:35:23
think that it was that get any part and I think it just was really a long time this long situation and at that time
00:35:37
like when we were doing it like when all this was happening obviously we didn't think it would be to almost like you
00:35:44
know over well over a month and we still wouldn't like we didn't think that was gonna be the last time we saw you well
00:35:50
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
00:35:57
some suspicious and you're putting out this information are you getting any backlash or harassment online it's been
00:36:08
really bad because though when I didn't I wasn't even able to do my first I didn't even even wasn't able to give
00:36:17
out there until like March 13th you know and by this point we had already went and we'd passed out over 2,000 flyers
00:36:26
we went to so many different places and it's just there were so many people that
00:36:35
are asking first or like and I would and I always tell I always tell the same story but it's like it doesn't matter
00:36:42
what I tell the news or the media it's like however how they learn spin it what isn't there because I've talked to like
00:36:48
three or four different people and three or four different lady pages have arisen
00:36:55
four different stories so everybody looks at me like why aren't you telling the full and in fact I am telling why
00:37:02
I'm not writing these articles like I'm not telling I'm just trying to tell everybody what happened like I'm trying
00:37:08
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
00:37:13
for clues and talking with the police how has this been on you um it's been awful alright so many levels like Tyler
00:37:25
is my best friend and it sucks really bad when you're with somebody for so long and like hurt you like you get into
00:37:35
my opinion really used to coming home and being there like you're used to then pulling all of you everyday and it's
00:37:42
just like awful because I have like we have it really young son who asked for his every day and he for the first like
00:37:50
we can have people woke up every night at the time Tyler so you're off working this is any offer that you do like data
00:37:58
for hours last night he literally brought me aaron has like a like an old playstation controller that Tyler gave
00:38:07
him is broken you always sit there Tyler oh you play his games and then have his
00:38:11
little controller and you're like Robins controller and he was like Dada like it's really hard because he's so him so
00:38:18
I can explain you this and then I go friending like I said her mom and if they had Hawaii - it just means - like I
00:38:29
single parent I'm trying to be an advocate for my husband and I'm kind of like your story's public as I possibly
00:38:34
can and I'm trying to figure out I never had a panel goes before by myself like I
00:38:41
literally this like last month was the first time I ever page any of the bills like actually sat down like I have
00:38:47
things I was responsible for but I never got down and paid the rent you know what
00:38:53
I mean like if you did all of that and it's just it's been a learning process it's been really hard yeah and it just
00:38:59
doesn't make any sense for somebody though up and vanish no that's the thing I keep I'm like trying so hard to like
00:39:09
what people know because I understand like from the outside looking in if I was just somebody that's scrolled by and
00:39:18
read the story I'd be like that's not right like something's wrong like you know what it means but he's not this is
00:39:24
not the type of piece off of that person he is a very responsible person like he
00:39:29
knows and responsibilities like he has always been such a wonderful husband like I am spoiled his Aaron gets
00:39:39
anything and everything like you he's just a really good he's a really good guy my kids not even two when he knows
00:39:47
there's like he knows how spell works like there's words winners have a spell Tyler has literally taught him so much
00:39:52
stuff and it just makes me feel like a bad mom because I do you only feel like he like I was were two of us like he was
00:40:01
a better parent like he spent so much time with our son and you can tell originally like enjoy to play with him
00:40:10
for hours like I'm not talking about somebody who gets down and like throw the ball to her kid for 15 minutes like
00:40:16
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
00:40:23
me you wanted to be bad he was so excited when you found out for there was going to be a boy you want to remain my
00:40:28
son after the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers like it's just I can't explain anything I can't explain this
00:40:35
stuff anybody you know anything like it's like yeah you're doing story but they don't know me they don't know my
00:40:40
husband they don't know the type of life that we live you know it's like one of the
00:40:45
exciting people we don't go out and do stuff ever and it just sucks to try to constantly like defend yourself and like
00:40:55
defend everybody in because you know that's not what happened now has Tyler's friend been cooperative with everybody
00:41:03
definitely he's um you know he's checked on me and Aaron multiple times you know
00:41:09
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
00:41:16
helping pass out flyers we actually just did another round on what is today is what I was feeling
00:41:26
Saturday so on Saturday we did like another thousand fliers and he's actually the closest one you know
00:41:34
because he lives in Columbus so there have been multiple times where I've caught on like hey I need you to go here
00:41:39
I have a lot of people like donate flyers and stuff err you know stuff that he can do during the week such as like
00:41:45
there's a lot of homeless shelters in the area and we've had all of them but a lot of them have really weird hours and
00:41:51
he's super cool about dropping off flyers at all other than that one day we found that stuff out about Abbott Labs
00:41:57
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
00:42:04
looks like stuff and a lot of missing person cases we don't have identifiers on somebody's body to to identify them
00:42:12
quickly but with Tyler he has kind of a unique birthmark okay yes so Tyler has a
00:42:19
really big birthmark on his right arm it actually goes it starts with a kiss like
00:42:25
it starts on this hand on the right hand on the fingers and it goes all the way up his arm goes up to the shoulder it
00:42:31
goes to the top right of his chest and uh the top right of his back as well so it's very large and it's read um 20 is
00:42:45
cold it's like changing to purple like it changes colors but it's very very noticeable so even if like you would if
00:42:52
he if you had to cover that up you would have we're like gloves a long-sleeve shirt
00:42:57
and like something around his neck so what do you think happened to Tyler well I think happened if you had to guess and
00:43:07
it's just this whole situation it's really really crazy to me I really think my personal opinion I
00:43:15
think somebody took there have been Ohio is like number four in human trafficking
00:43:22
there have been like five other men that went missing in Columbus around the same
00:43:27
age as Tyler in the past like month which blows my mind because it's like you don't see this stuff in the media
00:43:38
it's like I was asking one of the detectives and he said something about like inducing panic physically we don't
00:43:44
want to induce panic I'm like we should be inducing panic like people are literally getting taken and I don't know
00:43:50
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
00:43:57
people that literally go missing every single day if you could say something to Tyler right now I knew that he could
00:44:06
hear you what would you say to him I'm not ever giving up ever nobody can stop me try to find them I won't find
00:44:19
you I really will find you and I don't know what kind of situation you're in but I just I need you to get out of it
00:44:27
and anybody say anything at home and I miss you so much I really I really good trying on this trying so hard
