Andrea Nicole Boyett was 26 and a mother of three from Lakeland, Florida, when she went missing in late 1994. Family members say she seemed distressed and had confided that her three-month marriage to John Johnny Boyett was in trouble. The last definite sighting by family was December 23, 1994; her grandmother filed an official missing persons report on March 3, 1995, which is also listed as her last contact date.

Accounts of the night she vanished conflict. John Boyett told investigators Andrea disappeared while he was in the bathroom after they returned from visiting several bars. Andrea’s children say she never came home that night. In February 2004 Andrea’s son Dustin, nine at the time of the disappearance, told investigators he had seen John choking Andrea outside the home and driving away with her, then returning without her. In June 2004 John’s brother Robert Boyett said he helped dispose of Andrea’s body by weighting it and throwing it into a lake at the phosphate mine where John worked; that lake has since been filled in.

A grand jury indicted John Boyett for second-degree murder in August 2004; he later pled to manslaughter in 2006 and received an eight-year sentence. Andrea’s body has not been recovered. Does anyone have memories or information about Andrea in Lakeland in 1994 that could add detail to her story?
