Tyrone Lydell Bryant, 22, disappeared from Fort Wayne, Indiana, on October 31, 2001. He was last seen at his Lafayette Street residence and was described as 5 feet 11 inches and about 135 pounds, with a pierced left ear, a horizontal scar on his elbow and tattoos including Troop on his bicep and a Bryant Family Tree on his back. He may have been wearing a gold wedding band and white sneakers when he vanished.

Bryant had a troubled youth in Detroit and moved to Fort Wayne at 19. He had prior arrests for drug- and weapons-related charges and an active warrant for probation violation when he went missing, so authorities initially considered that he might have fled. His family did not report him missing until May 2002 after months of no contact, which they said was unusual.

Suspicion of foul play emerged after Bryant’s former girlfriend, who had been living with him, died by suicide in 2006. In her notes she said that during an argument she phoned someone who came and killed Tyrone, and that they put his body somewhere it would never be found; she did not identify the person she named. The house they shared has since been demolished and Tyrone’s body has not been located. Does anyone with information about Tyrone’s time in Fort Wayne or the Lafayette Street residence have details that could help this investigation?
