Tamara Elizabeth Toy, 44, was last seen May 6, 2006, in Bradenton, Florida. She had been living at the Budget Inn on Tamiami Trail with her boyfriend, Glenn Bivens, and was known to be struggling with addiction to prescription painkillers. Her family’s last contact was in March 2006 when she sent Easter cards and called her son.

Bivens was arrested May 13 after a near collision with a police car; his van reportedly contained two shovels, a bloody glove, and other items investigators found suspicious. While jailed, he allegedly told another inmate that Toy had died of a drug overdose and that he had buried her. Before investigators could fully pursue those statements, Bivens committed suicide by jumping from a second-floor jail balcony. No remains have been confirmed as Tamara’s and the disappearance remains unsolved.

Did anyone in Bradenton in 2006 see Tamara, her van, or the Budget Inn where she was living?
