There has been an update in the search for 25-year-old Tyler Bojanowski, as authorities say he has been found in the Detroit River. Tyler had been missing since early February, after he was last seen in the early morning hours in Allen Park. There has been no additional information about the recovery or a confirmed cause.

Tyler was last seen on security footage from around 2:30 a.m. on February 5th that showed him walking away from his truck parked at a Best Western on Enterprise Drive. His passport was later recovered at Dingell Park in nearby Ecorse, an area that sits along the riverbank.

A French case from 2011 is now drawing attention in a small west Texas town, pulling local investigators into a mystery that has remained unresolved for fifteen years.

Last week the Brewster County Sheriff's Office in Alpine, Texas issued a public appeal for information about Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès, a man who vanished from France in 2011 and has not been seen since.

The request centers around a reported sighting in southern Brewster County in 2020, where he was said to have been traveling with a black labrador. Authorities also noted he had spent time in the region during the 1990s and had described the American southwest as one of his favorite places.

When Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès disappeared in April 2011, it didn’t immediately raise any suspicion, but the case took a very different turn once investigators searched the family’s home in Nantes and uncovered what had been hidden beneath the patio, reframing everything that came before. In the days leading up to that discovery, he was captured on CCTV in the south of France leaving a small hotel in Roquebrune-sur-Argens with a single bag, walking toward the foothills, and that remains his last confirmed sighting.

This renewed interest in this case follows the release of a recent book by former investigator Gilles Galloux, who outlines the possibility that the disappearance was planned in advance, including potential ties to the American southwest. Galloux is now in Texas with a documentary crew revisiting earlier leads, including the reported 2020 sighting.

In the middle of the afternoon on March 25th, a well-known Oakland, California coffee shop owner and mom of two stepped out for a walk near her home and hasn’t been seen since. 52-year-old Amy Hillyard was last seen Wednesday around 2 p.m. on Radnor Road, in the Cleveland Heights area. She did not have her cell phone.

Hillyard co-owns Farley’s East coffee shop on Grand Avenue with her husband, Chris, and they also run the original Farley’s location in San Francisco.

The Alameda County Sheriff’s Office has brought in search-and-rescue teams, including trailing K9 units, to work through targeted areas, but so far those efforts have not led to her being located. They are also reviewing any available camera footage from the surrounding area.

Anyone in the Oakland area who may have seen Amy that afternoon, or has camera footage from Radnor Road or nearby streets, is asked to contact the Oakland Police Department.
