Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP26296) and 11 other sources
Timothy Edward Waldrop, a 24-year-old man from Gulfport, Mississippi, went missing on February 1, 1992. He was last seen leaving the home he shared with his girlfriend, driving his yellow 1973 Dodge Dart with black stripes, accompanied by his black Chow dog named Bear. That afternoon, Waldrop visited the Sand Hill apartment complex, where his mother and brother lived, and was never heard from again.

The following day, February 2, his Dodge Dart was found abandoned in a parking lot on Cedar Lake Road, near Interstate 10 in Biloxi, Mississippi. On February 5, Bear was found wandering on Old Highway 49 in Saucier, over 20 miles away from where Waldrop's car had been located. Despite extensive searches, there have been no sightings or clues regarding Waldrop's whereabouts since his disappearance.

Waldrop, who was 6'2" to 6'3" tall and weighed between 230 and 250 pounds at the time, has a scar on his shoulder from a previous surgery after an ATV accident. His case remains unsolved, and authorities continue to investigate, encouraging anyone with information to come forward.
