Found Deceased IL- Tyler Graf, 31, Downs, 11 April 2020

Mine too.
I am curious as to what he or "they" were doing prior to going out walking.
Were they partying ??
Did they have something planned for the day that would warrant getting up early to get started or were they still up partying from the night before??
Do we know if the "friend" has spoken anything about it??

*Sigh* So many questions

It's been very quiet - I have been meaning to check local news FB because sometimes comments are close to the truth - i've just been busy and haven't gotten to that yet.

Tyler is still missing? Did we ever get clarity on what the friend is saying? MOO

Yay! Maybe there will be more details & updates now that there’s a “find” fb page set up.

I did take a look at it. The lengthy post by GMW caught my attention.

Find Missing Tyler Graf!

Found these MP poster for Tyler. States last seen in the Kickapoo Creek area. I don’t know if that helps narrow the area down a little more from previous description of Kickapoo Park.

@TatianaBarbie you’re prob going to have to help me out with the permalink for specific posts on Help Find Tyler Graf fb page...(I know, it’s pitiful I can’t get it to work myself) lol.

The fb page has shared an additional missing persons flyer. On this particular one it states:
Tyler was carrying a crescent wrench, a multi-tool screwdriver, a cowboy style wallet, a key ring, & an iPhone 7 with a black otter box.

One of my first thoughts “phone? thought they found his phone?”...answer to that is including in comments according to MK.

Long time lurker and voracious reader here but first time posting.

I live in a small community about 40 miles from Downs but just heard today about Tyler being missing. So heartbroken for his family and loved ones. Prayers and love for them all.

Another missing man found in a body of water. I thought he might be found in the creek next to the trail. What is the distance in relation to the pond and the hiking trail. I guess its to early for COD.
RIP Tyler.

Oh. so sorry to hear the news. RIP, Tyler.
