His aunt checked on him hourly until 3 a.m., which was the last physical sighting of Dye. At 5 a.m., on June 30th, 2021, Dye's aunt went to check on Dye to find that he was no longer in the bedroom asleep. She immediately contacted Dye's mom, grandmother, and family to let them know that Dye was no longer at her residence. Dye's mother contacted the Greenville Police Department immediately to report her son missing. The family began searching Greenville for him within minutes of discovering he was missing on their own, as well.

At around 12:50 p.m. on June 30th, 2021, Greenville Police Department were dispatched to Amber Road in their jurisdiction regarding a citizen finding what they believed to be a body. Upon arrival, officers located a body that was burned beyond recognition.
