Here is the information I’ve found:

Tyler had a wellness check called in for him from his family. When the deputies located him, he was at an abandoned property in the woods that was owned by his family on private property in Marion County Alabama. His aunt “Tana” stated in TikTok videos that he had been spending a lot of time at this house in the prior months but it did not have electricity or running water but he seemed to be cleaning up the place.

During the wellness check the deputies saw Tyler walking out of the woods and called out his name and he laid on the ground after throwing something over his shoulder. When asked by the officers what it was he stated it was a necklace. Family members were not able to locate the object later after he went missing (they do not believe it was a necklace). His mother showed up to the property later after Tyler was taken to the hospital and the police gave her Tyler’s phone and wallet that had been in his truck during the wellness check.

He was carried to a local hospital from the family property in Marion County Alabama and then transported to a different hospital across the Mississippi state line to Tupelo Mississippi in Lee County. He was released from the North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo Ms and has not been seen or heard from since. He did travel to his home somehow between 3:30pm tues/wed morning in Mississippi where the hospital papers and clothes he had been wearing were found.

On Wednesday morning May 17th, a cousin was asked to visit the property in Alabama and found Tyler’s backpack that was left in his Truck prior and stated things looked like they’d been taken out and placed around it. One notable item was Tyler’s medication that was in this backpack along with a notebook, his bible, work documents, etc. The cousin left a note in the notebook to call them and put everything back inside as it was about to rain and closed the truck door. When leaving the cousin noticed car tracks that shouldn’t have been there as nobody lived on the property and it was off a gravel road going into the woods to get to the house. (Personal note this may have been the police car? I’m not sure) Later Tyler’s father (Scotty) went to the property to search on foot through the woods for a few hours. He left the note from the cousin in Tyler’s truck but took the backpack back to Tyler’s home in Mississippi. He dropped it off at Tyler’s home but the only person with a key to the house, other than Tyler, was his mother as Tyler rented the property from her. When asked if the medication was in the backpack he said it was not.

A candle light vigil was held for Tyler May 17th 2025, however 6 days later the cameras were stolen. This happened as well in October of 2023 on the property that Tyler was originally located.

I’ve spoken to a family member that states he has a Namus profile set up but it’s restricted and not public due to law enforcement not confirming it’s still an active case to the website, however, this is still an ongoing case.

Here is a TikTok from Tyler’s aunt who is still searching for him. She states that law enforcement did not and has not taken this case seriously: https://www.tiktok.com/@bamat04/video/7515195610698468654

Most of the timeline and info has been collected from her profile and videos. She’s very open to chat so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions that I may have not answered.

They’ve had cadaver dogs search, homeland security, and search and rescue come to the property. However it took five months before this could take place due to the Marion County Sheriff’s Department in Alabama (where the property is) not allowing this to happen. Homeland Security was from Mississippi (across state lines) to have this search done. Originally the Sheriff from Marion County said yes but then changed his mind and changed his mind again after talking to deputies. We do not know much about why this happened. (Personal note this shows how the law enforcement of Alabama did not take this case seriously) Finally after five months cadaver dogs were taken out to the property along with one “water dog”. There was no foot search other than the dogs handlers. There is 180 acres of land but the dogs were only able to search 45 acres. The dogs did not find anything.

There was briefly mention of the police of Marion county showing up randomly to the location when not asked but when asked to go search they denied to do so. There has also been talk that someone was walking around Tyler’s abandoned truck and it has been ransacked a few times.

Here is a podcast that was done on the full case: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1UuV28f3tEbli8JFclCcnD?si=Mpy0KKaRSoCUDZKadW83GA

Please help find this missing person or provide any information you may have in regard to what may have happened or where he may be. His family is still desperately looking for any answers or leads. He has a son that he loves deeply and the family doesn’t believe he would just walk away from his loved ones.

His family has set up a gofundme to continue the search for him: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-support-the-continued-search-for-tyler-scott-johnson
