Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP24328) and 6 other sources
Tammy Lynn Huston, a 25-year-old woman from Jacksonville, Florida, disappeared on November 19, 1984, under highly concerning circumstances. She was last seen at her home on East 25th Street, where she was forcibly abducted by her then-boyfriend, Larry Butts. Witnesses reported that Butts, aged 43 at the time, broke into her residence and dragged Tammy out of her home while she was still in her pajamas. Despite the alarming nature of this incident, Huston has not been seen or heard from since that day.

Five weeks after her disappearance, Butts' body was discovered floating in the St. Johns River near the Jacksonville Naval Air Station. However, there was no trace of Huston at the scene, and her whereabouts remain unknown. The cause of Butts' death has not been publicly clarified, and no evidence has surfaced that would conclusively link his death to Huston's fate. Investigators have treated her case as an unsolved missing persons case for nearly four decades, with no significant breakthroughs despite available DNA evidence and a detailed physical description.

The mystery surrounding Tammy Huston's disappearance continues to baffle authorities and has left her family searching for answers. Her case is categorized as an endangered missing person, and efforts to resolve it have persisted, though with little progress over the years. As of today, Huston's case remains open, with law enforcement encouraging anyone with information to come forward.
