The search for a missing South Carolina duck hunter has since crossed state lines and is now in its third week.
In an effort to reunite the missing guy with his family, search teams have been looking on land, in the air, and at sea.
Who is Tyler Doyle?
Duck hunter Tyler Doyle, 22, is from South Carolina.
He is popularly referred to as “The Loris Slayer” and is an enthusiastic race car fan. According to The Sun News, he frequently races his No 3 street stock car at the nearby speedway.
When Tyler Doyle is not on the water or behind the wheel, he is frequently at home with his wife Lakelyn Chestnut Doyle, who is expecting, and their unborn child.
On January 26, 2023, Tyler was out on his 16-foot jon boat close to North Myrtle Beach when he capsized, according to Fox News.
Then, in a TikTok video, his younger brother, Reed Doyle, stated that he had just dropped off a buddy at a nearby dock when his boat struck some waves, which led to him losing his balance and falling.

“The waves took over the back of the boat and took Tyler with them,” Reed said in the video.
“Now we’ve been searching for this long now, and it’s frustrating, not knowing where he is, not knowing what to do.”Although Tyler is still listed as missing as of right now, his family thinks they may have located some of his items, according to internet reports.
Decoy ducks, money in his wallet, and a driver’s licence for South Carolina are among those things.
There have been numerous online speculations about what actually happened since Tyler’s abduction became widely known, but Reed has been fighting back by posting TikToks about what he knows.
“Tyler Doyle was my brother,” he said. “We have been out here for 10 days looking. Everybody’s searching, you know, and we’re trying to figure everything out.”
“The people out here that are keyboard warriors and wanting to talk s*** over Facebook or TikTok and just want to piece things together as they see it, you know you guys are not helping the cause,” he added.
Reed then went on to list a play-by-play of the facts as he knows them, adding, “I know the truth and take it how you want to, my brother is not a villain, my brother’s not anything, not a criminal. He’s the most genuine, kindhearted person you’ll ever meet.”
