In the late winter of 2017, a 28-year-old man named Todd Renard disappeared from Bellingham, Washington, leaving behind a void of information and a community searching for answers. On February 21, 2017, the day he was last seen, Todd, a male with brown hair and brown eyes, stood at approximately 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighed around 160 pounds. He was known for having numerous distinctive tattoos, including a giraffe on his left forearm, an umbrella under his right eye, and the word "Portland" tattooed across his knuckles. The day before he went missing, he had a conversation with his mother, promising to call her the following morning, a call that she never received. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are unsettling; a friend who was with him reported that Todd suddenly ran off into the woods and did not return. The investigation into Todd's disappearance was met with a series of perplexing and concerning discoveries. Several days after he was last seen, a mobile trailer where he had been staying with a friend burned down, and many of his belongings were inside. In the weeks that followed, some of his personal items, including his backpack, began to surface in different locations around Bellingham. These findings suggested he may have been in the area after he was last seen, but they provided no clear leads as to his whereabouts or what might have happened to him. The Bellingham Police Department opened an investigation, but the case soon grew cold due to a lack of substantial evidence. In the years since Todd Renard vanished, his family has continued to search for him, holding onto hope for answers. His mother, Wendy Gwinner, has been a vocal advocate, working to keep his story in the public eye. A Facebook group titled "Justice for Todd Renard" was created to share information and gather support from the community. The family also offered a reward for any information that could lead to his whereabouts. Despite these efforts, and the passage of time, the case remains unsolved. The official narrative of his disappearance begins with a strange departure into the woods and is followed by a series of confusing clues that have yet to form a clear picture of the events that transpired. The lack of resolution has left his loved ones in a painful state of uncertainty, forever wondering what became of Todd on that winter day.
