What a horrible call for his mother to receive!! His poor mother.

 

[FlossyMay]

What the heck? Who was the female? Was she implying he was dead?

 

[SleuthyLou]

This gives me chills.

 

[FL Wannabe]

Seems like the woman caller should be easy to.locate.

 

[Limecat]

Well that’s horrifying!

 

[Seni]

His surname appears to be Tipton, not Taylor.

 

[OhioMa]

I hope he is found alive.

 

[swanniee11]

Sounds like a serious threat to me. IMO. I hope he is located safe.

I found some arrest history for someone with his name, in his state and the photo looks like him but it lists his age as being a couple of years younger so unlikely it's him. Nothing else I can find on social media for him. Hope for his Mom's sake he is found safely and soon.

‘Take a ride to the morgue’: Mother desperate for answers after threatening call about missing son

Jaylen Tipton's mother says she got a call from another mother telling her that her son was going to die.

www.fox13memphis.com

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A mother is desperate for answers after her son went missing over a week ago.

Memphis Police said 23-year-old Jaylen Tipton was last seen in the 2900 block of Letree Cove in a silver or gold BMW.

“I received a phone call. Actually, I missed two missed calls. The third one, I answered, and it was from another mother, and she went on to tell me that my son was going to take a ride to the morgue,” said Janet Jackson, the missing man’s mother.

FOX13 was able to confirm that Tipton’s gold BMW 328i had been impounded by police and came to them completely burned.

“She went on to tell me that he was going to die tonight and that he had an altercation with her older son earlier that day that escalated,” said Jackson, referring to the call she received.

FOX13 searched several databases and confirmed Tipton does not have a criminal history or any pending charges.



“I think, I think he’s in danger. I’m not sure to what extent, but I do believe he’s in danger because there’s not a day that he would not contact me in some type of way,” said Jackson.

Anyone with information concerning the whereabouts of Jaylen Tipton is asked to call 901-528-CASH.

RSBM. That does not sound good at all.

 

[Vail]

well if he isn't in the car, he's probably near wherever it was burned out

So the perp's mother, a woman with a son presumably around Jaylen's age, made the call to Jaylen's mom threatening her son's life? Unbelievable.

The Fox13 Memphis newscaster stated "We did a search and we could not find any kind of criminal history for Jaylen Tipton nor does he have any pending charges."

Even an older BMW in that series is $17,000 (and up to $35,000). I can't see someone destroying it other than destroying evidence Not good at all, praying for his Mom.
