In the heart of Louisiana, a family continues to hold onto hope for the safe return of Timothy Tarver Jr., who vanished without a trace. On the afternoon of March 30, 2019, Timothy, known to some as 'Bucky' or 'Timothy Tarver II,' was last seen in the vicinity of Center Point. The 33-year-old had spent part of his day visiting his grandmother at the Oak Haven Nursing Home, a simple act of love that would precede his mysterious disappearance.
After the visit, he was seen walking along LA 107. From that point on, no one has reported hearing from him again. His family reported him missing on April 5, 2019, setting in motion an investigation that has unfortunately yielded few answers.
At the time of his disappearance, Timothy was described as a white male, standing between 5'10' and 6'0' tall and weighing between 175 and 195 pounds. He has brown hair, which he wore in a short cut, and his eye color has been described as both hazel and blue. He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and tennis shoes. Timothy has several distinct tattoos that could help identify him. These include the words 'Beast 51' and 'Mode 50' on his upper arms, a skull with automatic rifles on his right calf, and five individual stars on both of his shoulders.
The circumstances surrounding Timothy's disappearance remain unclear, and the lack of new information has been deeply painful for his loved ones. His cousin has been active in trying to keep his story in the public eye, hoping that someone, somewhere, has information that could lead to his whereabouts. The Avoyelles Parish Sheriff's Office is the investigating agency for this case. The case of Timothy Tarver Jr. is a somber reminder of the ambiguity and heartache that surrounds missing person cases. With very few details available to the public, his family is left to wonder what happened to him after he walked away from the nursing home on that March day. The lack of closure has left a void in the lives of those who know and love him as they continue their search for answers.Last Seen: Mar 30, 2019
