Timothy Wayne Cole was 57 when he was last seen in Portland, Tennessee, on January 12, 2023. A Sumner County resident, he left his home that month and has not been located since. His case is entered in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System and the Sumner County Sheriff’s Office is the agency handling the investigation.

Public information about his disappearance is very limited: there are no details released about what he was wearing, where he might have been headed, or other circumstances surrounding his leaving. Those gaps have made the search harder for family and investigators. Does anyone in Portland or Sumner County remember seeing Timothy around January 12, 2023, or have information that could help locate him?
