Details of Disappearance

Thomas was last seen at the now-defunct Rickenbacher's Bait and Tackle Party Shop in the 3000 block of Bluff Road in Columbia, South Carolina on November 20, 2014. His phone battery had died and he went to the business to use their phone. He called his mother multiple times, wanting a ride home, but he wasn't able to reach her and left the store alone on foot. He has never been heard from again.

It's extremely uncharacteristic of Thomas to be out of touch with his loved ones. He didn't have a vehicle at the time of his disappearance, and he never picked up his last paycheck. He was a self-employed painter at the time of his disappearance. Although authorities believe foul play is a possibility in his case, little evidence has surfaced as to his fate. His case remains unsolved.
