The late Stephen 'tWitch' Boss' wife suspected something was wrong on the morning the beloved DJ was found dead.
According to a report TMZ published on Thursday, December 15, Allison Holker went to a local brand of the Los Angeles Police Department on Tuesday morning to report her husband missing. She said that Boss left their home unexpectedly and didn't answer any communication afterward. She told police how out of character it was for him to do that, especially since they had just celebrated their anniversary days before and there was no argument between them.
Law enforcement sources told the outlet that police escorted her back to her home so that they can do a brief search of the property to look for any clues that would help their investigation. Holker's insistence that her husband's behavior was odd encouraged police to elevate the situation to a "critical missing persons" case.
A short time after the LAPD's interaction with Holker, the 911 call came in. Boss' body was discovered in a motel not far from his family's home. They confirmed that he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Staffers at the motel said he had checked in the night before with a small bag. They didn't notice anything off about him. His body was found after Boss failed to check out of his room on time.
Boss' death was shock to all of Hollywood's biggest stars including Ellen Degeneres, who paid homage to him on social media, plus Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Lopez and others.
