Background

As a teenager, Tyler got involved in dance and went on to start a performance group with his brother. The two later moved to Los Angeles, where they got signed by a talent agency to focus on a career in dance and music.

Disappearance

That evening, Tyler drove his mother to the airport and got her a hotel room for the night, even though her flight was not until the next day. He later contacted one of his brothers to inform him of what happened.
