Molino Man Reported Missing, Endangered 12 Years After Disappearance
September 15, 2017
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office is searching for a missing, endangered man reported missing over a decade after he was last seen.
Timothy Allen Lamb, 46, is developmentally disabled, legally blind and suffers from a heart condition, according to Investigator Michelle Wert. He lived with his mother until 2003 and then lived with different friends in the Molino area. He did not work and did not drive.
“Taking care of him was like having a third child,” Wert said. “There is no way the he could be out there living on his own.”
Relatives last communicated with Lamb in 2004 due to “very strained family relationships,” she said. In 2016, a relative tried to contact Lamb, but discovered that he was no where to be found and he had not been seen by friends in years. He was last known to be living with a friend off Highway 97 in Molino in 2005.
Wert said it was the first time she has investigated a person reported missing so long after they were last seen, and that’s made the investigation difficult.
“It’s a real mystery where he could be,” she said.
Wert is asking anyone that knows anything about Lamb — whether recently or from years ago, the names of his friends or any other information contact the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620 or Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

Poor Tim, how sad, what ever happened he didn’t deserve it. My heart goes out to him.
If I go missing for even as few as nine years, suspect a problem.
How sad! Prayers for this man and his family. Hopefully someone will have information to help find him.
SO SAD TO HEAR A STORY LIKE THIS LET US ALL PRAY FOR THIS PERSON TO BE OK WISH I COULD HELP IN ANY WAY !!!!!!
As Mike said, I remember him from Elementary school days. I was friends with his sister and when I’d visit, he was very kind. I hate hearing this… heartbreaking
This is a weird story? If he did not work due to medical issues he would have received social security – should not be hard to trace where the money went.
Where is/are his disability benefits being ATMed from?
Aww..i remember Tim from when we were kids. I hate to hear this and hope he is safe somewhere. I remember his situation even as 12 year old was tough.
That’s mighty strange!
