Which law enforcement agency is handling the Tyler Boyer investigation?

1. The evidence that would answer the question — and what’s missing

Public records in this packet include a municipal page for the Tyler Police Department, a local news story about a Tyler police internal investigation, and an Ohio Attorney General web page for a Boyer cold case, but none state that a “Tyler Boyer investigation” is being handled by any named agency; the Tyler PD material discusses local department accreditation and a body‑cam incident under local review ^{[1] [3]}, while the Ohio Attorney General page provides a tip hotline for a Boyer cold case without identifying a suspect or “Tyler Boyer” as involved ^[2]. Because the specific phrase “Tyler Boyer investigation” does not appear in the supplied sources, a direct, evidence‑based identification of one agency as the lead investigator cannot be made from these documents alone ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

2. What the Tyler, Texas sources actually show

The official Tyler, Texas government pages and local reporting establish that the Tyler Police Department is an accredited municipal police agency with responsibility for local criminal incidents and internal reviews; the department advertises CALEA accreditation and appears in local news coverage about an officer‑involved firearms incident that the department and its patrolman’s association said is under investigation ^{[1] [3]}. Those items demonstrate that the Tyler Police Department handles local policing and internal incident probes in Tyler, Texas, but they do not indicate the department is investigating anyone named “Tyler Boyer” ^{[1] [3] [4]}.

3. What the Ohio Attorney General material shows and why that matters

The Ohio Attorney General’s site includes a page labeled “Boyer” in a cold‑case investigator section that invites tips, indicating the state attorney general’s office maintains listings for unsolved homicides and accepts public information ^[2]. That establishes that an AG’s office can be the public face of a cold‑case file named Boyer, but the source does not provide details tying that case to an individual named “Tyler Boyer,” nor does it show the AG’s office actively investigating someone with that full name based on the provided snippet ^[2].

4. Plausible explanations and alternative readings

A plausible reason for the mismatch is simple nomenclature overlap: “Tyler” appears both as a place name (Tyler, Texas) and as a given name, while “Boyer” appears in an Ohio cold‑case listing; the supplied materials treat these as separate items rather than a single combined subject, so readers should not conflate the Tyler Police Department with the Ohio “Boyer” listing absent explicit linkage in source documents ^{[1] [2] [3]}. Another possibility is incomplete reporting: an investigation may exist but is not contained in the snapshots provided, so absence of evidence here is not evidence of absence beyond these sources (p1_s1–p1_s3).

5. How journalists and the public should proceed given the uncertainty

Given that none of the supplied sources directly answers “Which law enforcement agency is handling the Tyler Boyer investigation,” the responsible course is to request clarification from primary sources: obtain the case number or press release from the relevant police department or state attorney general, or seek comment from the Tyler Police Department and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office if the name Boyer is at issue; the municipal pages and news item show where to start locally for Tyler, Texas matters ^{[1] [3]}, while the AG’s cold‑case page is the appropriate statewide conduit for Boyer‑named cold cases in Ohio ^[2]. Without such confirmation in the provided reporting, it is not possible to assert definitively which agency is handling an investigation of a person named “Tyler Boyer” based solely on these documents ^{[1] [2] [3]}.
