Missing Man Found Dead In Wall Was Trapped.

 

Our story for today  is that of the chilling disappearance of Timothy Allen Johnson. In Spalding County, Georgia not much goes on that make’s national headlines. That is except for the occasional human remains discovered in unexpected places. On Sunday, February 11th, 2018, a man was rummaging around a property in Griffin, when he came across something peculiar. The man in question had been attempting to steal belongings from the former closed down Griffin Motel. This was not an uncommon occurrence as there were few security measures to keep people off the property, and the abandoned motel still held a variety of semi-valuable items.

While scouring the empty motel for anything worth grabbing, the man came across a foul smell in one of the rooms. When he peered into the room from the doorway, he expected to see human remains on the floor as if he were entering some kind of horror film, instead he saw absolutely nothing.

There were no furniture pieces in the room. In fact, there were not even any boxes like in the other parts of the motel. The smell the man realized was coming from within the wall of the motel room. Terrified at what could be lurking behind the wall covered in cheap wallpaper, the man quickly ran out from the motel, and immediately called the police.

When the authorities arrived on the scene, they were also baffled by where the smell was coming from, and its causes. Following the man's assumption that there was something stuck within the wall, local firefighters helped the police bust into the wall. With flecks of old paint and pieces of dry wall falling to the floor around authorities, no one could have been able to guess what happened next.

Slumped between the interior parts of the wall, where the remains of Timothy Allen Johnson, who had gone missing in December of 2017. There was no evidence to make officers think that there was any foul play involved at all. In fact, investigators were relatively certain that Timothy had also been trying to steal item from the property, specifically copper wires, since they were abundant within the motel walls. And it was allegedly evident to the police that Timothy had crawled inside of the wall to gather some and wound up stuck. Whatever his reasoning was for situating himself within the walls of an abandoned motel room, officers also believed that it had something to do with Timothy's alleged known methamphetamine problem.

He had been known by acquaintances to be rather fearless and determined to get what he wanted out of life. As they say, curiosity killed the cat.
