Great info!One way to disappear is without a trace is to fall into a sewer drain. This is a new mall and development complex, and it appears that a series of drain accesses are located throughout the area, in place of open air runoff culverts. Looking on Google Earth, you can see these drain grates placed in various locations. Image attached is of a couple of drain grates in the grass in front of Crate and Barrel, with the Hilton in the background (this is due west of the Hilton). If one of these covers was off, one could disappear quickly. If you fell in, cell reception might be questionable. Then a maintenance worker replaces it the next day without a thought.
Second image shows the apparent outlet from the drains along Easton Way (Crate and Barrel), which flows into Alum Creek. Alum Creek then flows south and eventually connect to Big Walnut Creek southeast of Columbus.
Third image is of sewer drain line running into Alum Creek.
If this was an accident, some low percentage occurrences probably happened to result in Tyler's disappearance.
ETA: I wonder what the wind chill factors were there in Dec & Jan and the possibility of frozen water still being present in deep enough water.
