February 6th, 1987:
Timothy Guy heads to work at the Sleepy Fox Farm in Forsyth County, Georgia. He told his dad he would be returning to his family home in Snellville, Georgia after work that day for the weekend, but Tim never arrived at his parent’s house.
He lived at the farm during the week and only came home on the weekends. But this weekend was a little different. There was a horse show in town, and he was going to ride in it. So when he did not return home the family did not think anything about it.
Timothy J. Guy was an 18-year-old boy who had some slight learning difficulties. Although he had no official diagnosis. This made him slightly naive to the cruelty of the world around him. But he loved horses and the Sleepy Fox Farm seemed to be the perfect job for him.
Tim’s parents received a phone call from a man we will call P.K. on Monday, February 9th saying Tim didn’t show up for work. He said that he saw Tim leave the Friday before with someone named Jeff. He said Jeff was driving a 1970 Chevy Impala and that he was approximately 5’10, 180 lb, and described him as a big bone muscular guy.
Soon officers began to question the existence of this mysterious Jeff. Things seemed to point towards another horrific tale. It is doubtful that Tim ever left the farm.
When his parents showed up at the farm that afternoon, P.K. and his wife had gathered all of Tim’s things in a trash bag, washed his clothes, and handed them to his dad along with his last paycheck.
Who does that? Who misses a day of work, and your boss literally scoots you out the door?
Later on, P.K. would end up being arrested on drugs and weapons charges. Did Timothy see something he shouldn’t have seen that day? Did Timothy really leave the farm that Friday evening? Or was he killed Friday evening, and the perpetrators had three days to clean up the farm before he was reported missing?
It’s been almost four decades and we still have no answers. P.K. is deceased now. He still has family around, but somebody must know something. If you have any information, please call a tip line and let them know. Timothy’s dad, Warren has been fighting for answers for way too long.

Madhouse Madison County
Chaos rules in a small Southeastern Missouri County. Madison County spans 500 square miles and has a population of approximately 13,000 people. The county seat is Fredericktown with a population of approximately 4,000 people. This rural county should be a safe place in beautiful Americana, but it hides a dark secret. Fredericktown is one of the most dangerous places to live in America. Check out this quote from neighborhoodscout.com.
“With a crime rate of 31 per one thousand residents, Fredericktown has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes – from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One’s chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 32.”
I started researching one case sent to me by a desperate grandmother. That case led me to fifteen more. Then I realized this county has had murder, corruption, and chaos since before the Wild West days. This book will start with a lynching by a Fredericktown mob in 1844. Hold onto your seats when you read this one. You’re in for a wild, chaotic ride through rural Missouri.
