I've been hung up on these details, too.
When searching there are some people that walk along looking for the missing person standing around wearing the clothes they were last seen in. It frustrates me. People can disappear very quickly into tall grass or where there is vegetation. If they are hypothermic they will take off their clothes because they feel warm. I've seen so many situations where the missing person is deceased in the bush and have been missed by searchers.
JMO The more I read the more I think he wasn't in a good state of mind. I don't think he was thinking how he normally would and as a result, did some odd stuff that he wouldn't normally do and is illogical to us.
what kind of masters degree can you get in 14 weeks (and four days) ?Lonnie, who is a retired school teacher, told Dateline a story that he says exemplifies who his son is as a person. “When he was in elementary, our cooks always provided cookies to the kids at lunchtime. So Tyler came home one weekend... and said, ‘Dad, the cooks make us cookies every day. Can we make cookies for the cooks?’” he said. “So we made cookies so Tyler could take them to the cooks just to repay them for their kindness.”
“He was just a good person. I would say he was always a champion of the underdog,” Lonnie said.
“He persevered through everything. He pushed himself. He believed, I think, in excellence. He strove to be his best at things,” Lonnie said. “He wanted to get his master’s degree, got it in 14 weeks and four days -- talk about driven,” the proud father recounted. “He always told me he was going to be warden,” Lonnie said. “He said, ‘I will end up being warden someday.’ So maybe that truly was his ultimate goal.”
Dateline spoke with one of Tyler’s friends, Rachel Barth. “Tyler and I have been friends since kindergarten,” she said. “Tyler was one of those people that just made friends easily.”
“We need closure.” Loved ones desperately searching for Tyler Goodrich, a Nebraska man who vanished in November 2023

Online schools with a competency model, like Western Governors University (where I am attending for my master's - it is a certified/legitimate school even though it's no Ivy), let you pass classes at your own place, so theoretically, you could get a master's online during 14 weeks. every once in a while someone at WGU does that. I finished all the classes besides student teaching in my master's in teaching in 18 weeks. I would assume that if it's not a misspoken reference to a school semester it's a situation like that.
There have been so many cases where people's bodies have ended up in areas very close to where they have least been seen, and especially in areas with conditions like where Tyler disappeared (rural areas, briar patches, etc.). Remains can be very difficult to locate in the best of conditions, I imagine in a rural area with briar in the midwest in the winter is a less than ideal condition to search for anyone in. All JMO
Thanks for posting! I can completely see it being very difficult to find someone in this kind of area. People tend to underestimate often how difficult it is to find remains. JMOThe location in the original missing person report is "his home near Southwest 12th and Burnham streets." This is what that location looks like:

That would cause an even bigger alterations in their family life, because these kids will have endured a lifetime of trauma, and now potentially this?
No matter what you may think of him IMO it is important to think about the toll it is taking on him, and the rest of the family.
Not to be graphic but depending on how much time has elapsed, the scent alone often gives it away. But then, one would have to be searching in the vicinity at the right window of time in order to detect it.
It's definitely a strong possibility as I think nothing can be ruled out. He left through the garage I believe and could have put something in his pocket. There's a few ways to SH I think as well that don't involve an object brought to the scene. All these cases, in my opinion, where a parent who has children at home disappears are super sad. Especially this time of year.
