Vital Statistics

Circumstances of Disappearance:

Tyler's mother Janine had planned a visit to Sioux Falls from August 26 through September 4 to see her son and spend time with her new granddaughter. On September 3, Tyler got into an argument with his mother, which was described as out of character for him, since they had never had an argument before. Tyler drove his mother to the airport on the evening of September 3rd, even though her flight wasn't until the next day. When Gregory called Tyler that night, Gregory said his brother didn't sound like himself. MonaLisa says Tyler was still upset when he got home, and they barely got any sleep that night. When she got up on the morning of September 4, Tyler had already gone out for a morning walk. She was about to leave the house to take the kids to school when he returned. "We all go out in the garage, including Ty. And we get the kids in the car. We give him a kiss. We all say, 'Love you, bye,'" MonaLisa recalled. When MonaLisa returned from dropping the kids off, Tyler wasn't back yet. Tyler did not take his phone with him, and by about 10:30 a.m., MonaLisa began to worry. She got in the car, searched around the neighborhood, went to his meditation spot. She was freaking out at this point. The Sioux Falls Police Department took a report of a missing person on September 4, 2024 when called in the afternoon, maybe around 4:30 p.m. He had left home that morning about 7:45. Tyler was last seen in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on September 4, 2024. He left home at 7:15 a.m. to go for a walk, leaving his cellular phone, wallet, identification, passport, and credit and debit cards behind. He was sighted on a surveillance camera in the area of West Madison Street and North Marion Road at 7:50 a.m., walking east towards Interstate 29.

Additional Details:

While Tyler was excited about his work and his family, MonaLisa says he struggled with depression and his mental health from time to time. His daily walks helped him to "revamp and rejuvenate" and he would often use them to meditate and clear his mind. Sometime in the mid-2010s, Tyler moved to South Dakota. He started a business that Gregory says was focused on "self-love and community." And he began spending time with a woman named MonaLisa Perez. Dateline spoke with MonaLisa, who describes Tyler as soft-hearted and genuine, someone who is not judgmental. "He loves to create and build and just really influence the people around him in such a positive way," she said. In 2021, they got married, and Tyler became a father to MonaLisa's two children. In March of 2024, Tyler and Monalisa welcomed a new baby into their family. The brothers grew up in a rough part of Chicago. That's when the two changed their focus for a positive life, and made it to LA to focus on a career in dance. Tyler shot all Gregory's music videos. Tyler took all his pictures. Tyler did all his branding. Nearly two months later, they haven't found Tyler — or any other clues to his whereabouts. The last security footage they found of Tyler showed him about a mile from his neighborhood in northeast Sioux Falls. Legal Eye Investigations, LLC, was retained by Tyler's family and told Dateline they are "fully committed to pursuing every lead in the search for Tyler." According to the P.I., they have distributed missing posters, conducted searches in the area, reviewed footage from the neighbors, and interviewed multiple people connected to the case. A new video from the private investigator group Legal Eye Investigations, LLC. shows Tyler Weathersby standing at the corner of Marion Road and Madison in Sioux Falls. It shows Tyler Weathersby waiting to cross the street while speaking to a young boy riding a bike. Tyler also is seen approaching one driver of a silver Hyundai Santa Fe in the street. As of February 2025, it was coming up on the sixth month anniversary of the disappearance of Tyler Weathersby, and while police have no new leads to report, they want the public to know they are still actively investigating the case. It's been almost six months since Tyler Weathersby vanished, but police say there has been no new information on the case. The investigation is still open and ongoing, but no new information has come to light recently. Thum said there have been no suspects named and nothing points to anything malicious in the case. On the one-year anniversary of Tyler Weathersby's disappearance, his wife, Monalisa Perez, spoke with Dakota News Now about the unanswered questions a year later. "I never would have imagined that we would still be here a year later with no answers," Perez said. Monalisa said she's finding her way since her husband, Tyler Weathersby, was last seen near I-29 and Madison Street in Sioux Falls. Tyler Weathersby has been missing for over two years. People want answers and the Sioux Falls Police Department to continue their search for Tyler.
