Investigation
Tyler Goodrich disappeared with his wallet and cellphone which last pinged to an area in South West 13th and West Van Dorn streets near his home.
Authorities reviewed surveillance footage of Tyler from Costco on the day he disappeared and state he did appear to be in any distress.
His phone records, bank account, and social media have had no activity since he disappeared.
In January 2024, Crime Stoppers received a handwritten letter regarding Tyler’s disappearance which led to hopes that authorities might be closer to finding him.
However it was later revealed that the letter was written by a woman who had a “vision” of what happened to him, and did not contain any evidence that furthered the investigation.
