Tyler Davis, 29, of Wilmington, Ohio, disappeared during a weekend birthday trip to Columbus. On February 23, 2019, he and his wife Brittany stayed at the Hilton Hotel at Easton Town Center after an evening out with a local friend. Around 3:00 a.m. on February 24 Tyler, having slept in the Uber, woke disoriented at the hotel entrance, walked away despite his wife’s reassurances, and was last seen on hotel surveillance footage as he left the property.

Phone records show Tyler called Brittany at 3:37 a.m., saying he was walking around the block, and again around 4:10 a.m., saying he was in the woods but could see the hotel and would be back in five minutes. A final call from his phone lasted only a few seconds before disconnecting; afterwards calls went straight to voicemail. Digital forensics placed his phone near the Huntington Bank complex and the Abbott Foods parking lot and showed he looked for directions back to the hotel. Extensive searches of the area, including a nearby swamp, found no trace.

The Columbus Police initially treated the case as a possible voluntary departure but later acknowledged a delayed response was a mistake. Authorities say they do not believe he went missing intentionally. In December 2021 a Clinton County court declared him legally deceased, but the disappearance remains unsolved and open. Does anyone who was in the Easton Town Center area that night remember seeing Tyler or anyone matching his description?
