Details of Disappearance

Boykin was last seen in Bakersfield, California on July 26, 2017. He exchanged text messages with family members on August 1, but no one has seen or heard from him since.

His mother had traveled to Bakersfield from her home in Washington state to put him in the hospital. She wanted him to live in a group home, but after his release from the hospital, Boykin went back to the house where he had been staying.  The last message Boykin's mother got from his number said he didn't like his roommates and had moved out. However, she's not sure he actually sent that message, as it didn't seem like something he would write.

Due to his mental impairment and medical needs, Boykin is considered to be at risk. His case remains unsolved.
