Weeks after his brother disappeared, Brian “Wags” Wagaman is still desperately searching. Footage obtained from a Flock camera he shared to social media June 30 offers one more piece to the puzzle.
Tyler Wagaman’s social media has been silent since June 12, and there’s been no activity on his Xbox account or bank account transactions since June 14.
“He goes to work, comes home, and plays his video games,” Wags said in an earlier video posted to social media. “That’s his entire life.”
His black Ford F-150 is missing, too. On June 30, Wags shared an image of the missing vehicle on the morning Tyler went missing.

“With help from outside anonymous resources, I was able to obtain Flock cam pics from the morning he went missing,” Wags posted. “They don’t show much, but it’s something.”
Wags said he’s getting help from out-of-state teams with dogs and sonar equipment to aid in the search.
What happened to missing Greenwood man, Tyler Wagaman?
The whereabouts of Wagaman remain a mystery as of June 30. The Indiana Missing Persons Bulletin lists June 14 as the date Wagaman was last seen.
After filing a missing person report with the Greenwood Police Department, Wags put out the alert online. He’s reached out to social media for help.
“I know there’s not much more that I can physically do than drive around,” Wags said while discussing his brother’s disappearance in a livestream on June 25. “I think my biggest tool to help is social media. I can reach tons of people and get his picture out there, so that’s where my resources are best used, I think.”
Shortly after Wags posted that video, his brother’s property manager checked on his apartment and found that while Tyler Wagaman wasn’t home, there were no signs of anything amiss.
Wags said his brother is an introverted, soft-spoken guy who keeps to himself. It’s not like him to drop off the grid without warning.
