Source Information​

 

ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. — The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office has expanded search operations for a man missing since July 2022.

Carlos Edward Tavarez was last seen on Faith Street in Hastings on Jul. 23 2022. His family reported him missing in early August of that same year. According to information from The Charley Project, a non-profit website dedicated to profiling cold-case missing people, Taverez was behaving strangely in the weeks before his disappearance.

The sheriff’s department said in an update about his disappearance that additional search operations began recently. The department also said it will use K9 teams and advanced search technology to search the Flagler Estates area of St. Johns County.

SJSO is asking anyone with information relating to this investigation to call Crime Stoppers at 888-277-TIPS (8477). You might be eligible for a cash reward.
 
"His mother, who reported him missing on August 4, said he had been behaving strangely in the weeks prior to his disappearance and stated people were trying to kill him."
I'd like to know more about this, in terms of who he thought was trying to kill him. Was it EVERYONE? Was it a group of people? Or a specific person? Also if there can be anything pinpointed that may have started this strange behaviour, what happened in the weeks before that may have had some sort of impact?

"While his mother was out of town prior to his disappearance, Tavarez rearranged her furniture and burned his own mattress."
This is concerning, I wonder if he told his mother why? Surely she would of questioned him to some point so again I'd like to know more on that and if that links to his thoughts of someone trying to kill him.

"It's possible Tavarez accidentally overdosed and this led to his disappearance. His case remains unsolved."
It's been over a year, surely he'd have been found by now?
JMO.
