At the time of his disappearance, due to family problems he had been staying back and forth among different relatives. Toby's paternal uncle, Almer W. "Billy" Wright, is the last person he is known to have lived with. Billy stated Toby had been caught trying to rape one of his daughters and had hidden in a chicken coop afterwards. Wright found him there and drove him away from the property in his car. Where they went after that is unclear and Billy told inconsistent stories about it. It is worth noting that, at the time of Toby's disappearance, Wright was involved with the drug trade, and he also has a history of domestic violence. Several months after Toby went missing, Wright took his family and moved to Arkansas. He claimed he had to take care of his sick mother, but his mother was not sick. He is currently in prison for rape and child molestation.
