Timothy Scott Parry, known as Tim, was 19 when he walked out of his Cedar City, Utah home on July 18, 1989, and never returned. Tim had multiple serious medical conditions — epilepsy, brain damage, Angelman’s Syndrome, and porphyria, which made him sun‑sensitive — and required constant medical care. His disabilities included developmental delays, unsteadiness, memory problems and an unusual fear response that caused him to scream and shake his hands. He was allergic to most medications and had visible differences such as peeling skin under his eyes, a prominent brow ridge, burns on the palms of both hands, and a possible birthmark on his inner thigh.

The case has been handled by the Iron County Sheriff’s Office and remains unsolved. Timothy’s family endured further loss when his older brother Zeno died in 1991. Few details are available about why Tim left that day, and his disappearance continues to be an open concern for relatives and investigators. If anyone knew Timothy, saw him in or around Cedar City in July 1989, or has information that could help, please come forward.
