Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP9048) and 5 other sources
Timothy Lynn Willard, a 51-year-old man, went missing from Lufkin, Texas, on May 29, 2001. At the time of his disappearance, Willard was facing serious health issues, including kidney problems, and required dialysis and multiple medications. He is described as a Caucasian male with black hair and blue eyes, standing 5'10" and weighing approximately 150 pounds. On the day he vanished, he was last seen wearing a white shirt, black jeans, and a white baseball cap, and was carrying a set of headphones.

Despite ongoing investigations, very few details have emerged about his case, and Willard has not been heard from since. His case remains classified as endangered due to his medical condition, which further adds to the concern surrounding his disappearance. Authorities urge anyone with information to come forward to help resolve this long-term missing person case.
