It's believed that Jimmy was last seen on February 15th, 2012, but he's not reported missing until February 28th, 13 days later. Over the course of their investigation, officials questioned Jimmy's wife, Carol. She's unable to give investigators a date and time she last saw her husband.
Despite suspicions originally cast on her, Carol has been cleared by law enforcement, and Jimmy's case remains unsolved.
Jimmy lived in a town called Mount Enterprise. Josh says Israel's mother and sisters, the ones he was visiting, were in the process of moving from the Dallas area to the town of Wells.
We know that Keyes visited Wells during his trip, but what's interesting is Mount Enterprise is only about a 40-minute drive from there, and Jimmy lived in a remote cabin in the woods, the kind of area Israel told the FBI he liked to stake out.
In conversations with the FBI, Israel denied killing anyone in Texas. But later, he seemingly walked back that statement without giving any specifics. He said something to the effect of, I haven't been truthful about Texas. Josh brings the conversation back to the fire Israel set the day after Jimmy disappeared.
If you have any information about the disappearance of Jimmy Tidwell, you're asked to call the Rusk County Sheriff's Office at 903-657-3581. With his death, Israel Keyes robbed so many people of closure. But experts are still trying to better understand his M.O. and victimology. Forensic psychologist Catherine Ramsland has suggested Israel Keyes may have had a fetish for missing persons.
And investigators and researchers are still piecing together his crimes and making what could be breakthroughs. For example, Josh now believes Israel's murders were not as random or disconnected as officials once believed.
Josh covers this revelation in season two of his podcast, True Crime Bullshit, in an episode called Hotspots. And it's proof that our understanding of Israel's crimes is still evolving. Recently, Josh says, a woman came forward who says she had a run-in with Israel sometime between Samantha Koenig's murder and Jimmy Tidwell's disappearance.
She apparently knew information about Israel that hasn't been made publicly available.
Another strange coincidence in a long history of others. There's a plaque on a gazebo at Matanuska Lake in Alaska, the place where the FBI found Samantha Koenig's remains, the only remains ever recovered from any of Israel Key's victims. It reads, with remembrance and respect, this space is dedicated to the cherished loved ones who were violently taken from their lives and ours.

Lorraine and Bill Currier were a middle-aged couple.
They just were regular people. They didn't have kids. They were described as quiet. They didn't have a huge social network or a lot of friends. Bill spent a lot of time online. Lorraine had some pretty strong political views. But by all accounts, they were just pretty quiet people who were great employees who lived a mundane, unexciting life.
It's a small bedroom community. You know, there's some big box stores. It's just off several major highways, I guess in Vermont speak. But yeah, it's like a wooded area on the outskirts of the Burlington suburbs.
He broke into their garage, and then when he felt it was safe, he broke through the glass that connected the garage to their house and ran in.
And he pretty quickly subdued them, zip-tied them, and started ransacking their house.
Says that he starts going through their stuff to get an idea of who they are, you know, where they worked, would anyone be looking for them?
