Sidney Taylor, 35, of Houston, was last seen April 2, 2016, in Austin, where he and longtime friend Krislyn Gibson had traveled for the Urban Music Festival. Surveillance shows the two with a friend they met up with, Harvey Cyphers, entering and leaving a club around 2:00 a.m. Sidney spoke to another friend at about 3:00 a.m., saying he was with Cyphers; neither Sidney nor Krislyn returned to their friend’s residence and both disappeared thereafter.

Two days later Sidney’s 2010 Dodge Charger was recovered abandoned in Houston, more than 160 miles from the last sighting. Blood and personal items in the vehicle prompted investigators to treat the disappearances as likely foul play. Investigators later focused on Cyphers, whose account had inconsistencies; he was charged with tampering with evidence and charged with the murders of both Sidney and Krislyn. Their bodies have not been located and the case remains unresolved.

Sidney was married and had four children; his sudden disappearance was described as highly uncharacteristic. Does anyone who was in Austin that night or who knew Sidney, Krislyn, or Harvey have information that could help bring them home?
