In the late summer of 2017, the life of 33-year-old Tim Boshart took a turn that left his family with years of unanswered questions. On August 30, 2017, Tim’s girlfriend dropped him off at a recovery center in Laurel, Mississippi, known as the mission at the cross. A few days later, on September 3, he attended a service at Highland Baptist Church in Laurel. After the service, a friend gave him a ride to the nearby town of Purvis, Mississippi. This would be the last day anyone in his family would know of his whereabouts. His journey that day involved being dropped off at one home on Zeb Circle in Purvis, and then being picked up and taken to another residence on Lewallen Drive. This home on Lewallen Drive is the last place Tim was confirmed to have been seen. What happened to him after he arrived there remains a painful mystery.
Tim's mother, Robbie Fairley, has tirelessly kept the search for her son alive, organizing yearly balloon releases in his honor and managing a Facebook page dedicated to his case. In the weeks leading up to his disappearance, Tim had expressed a sense of fear to his mother, telling her he was afraid something was going to happen to him. His struggle with an addiction that began with prescribed painkillers following a surgery has been a point of concern for his family. Theories about what happened to Tim have circulated, including the possibility that he may have overdosed and that the people with him panicked. This speculation is compounded by the fact that some of the last people known to have been with Tim have reportedly been uncooperative with the law enforcement investigation. A significant and troubling clue was the discovery of his birth certificate, which he had recently gotten from his mother for a job application, found in the yard of the Lewallen Drive home where he was last seen.
Despite the passage of years, the investigation into Tim Boshart's disappearance has yielded no definitive answers, and the case remains unsolved. Law enforcement, with the help of cadaver dogs, has conducted searches in the rural, wooded areas surrounding his last known location in Purvis, but these efforts have not led to a breakthrough. His mother has received painful messages from people claiming to have information in exchange for money. The family's plea for information continues, asking anyone with knowledge about what happened to Tim to come forward, even anonymously, to provide a location. The central mystery of the case revolves around his final hours after being dropped off on Lewallen Drive and the silence of those who last saw him. The lack of cooperation from key individuals, coupled with the discovery of his personal document at the scene, points to a troubling conclusion to his story, but without concrete evidence or witnesses, his family is left to grapple with the unknown.Last Seen: Sep 3, 2017
