Eramy Burt was last seen on Sunday, February 11, 2007 around 10:30 p.m. in the 2200 block of Hervey Street in Boise, Idaho. Burt's ex-wife received several text messages from his phone in which he indicated he was leaving to start a new life. His family has always believed that someone else sent those messages as he would never have abandoned his young daughter, or family. His vehicle was found burned several months later in the desert in Owhyee County, near the Nevada border.
