I ask that you please share Thomas' story. Will you please share? One tip...that's all it takes. Thank You!

Thomas was last seen leaving his girlfriend's home in Palmdale CA at approximately 10:00 p.m. on December 5, 1979. Authorities believe he did arrive at his own apartment afterwards, but he has never been heard from again. The police were notified of his disappearance three days after he was last seen, but it was another three days before they went to his apartment to investigate. In the meantime, Thomas' mother, had cleaned the apartment and erased any evidence that might have been there.

Thomas was driving a dark green Pontiac Firebird with blue-colored Nevada license plates at the time of his disappearance. His vehicle was recovered two weeks later, when it was pulled over driving into California from Nevada. Craig Moore was driving the vehicle; there was no sign of Thomas. Thomas' jacket was in the trunk of the car and the car's pink slip had been signed over from Thomas to Moore. A hand gun was also found under the driver's seat; it had been fired recently. Moore was arrested and held for two weeks and told several different stories. He was eventually released for lack of evidence connecting him to Thomas' disappearance, but he remains the prime suspect.

Thomas graduated from Palmdale High School and he attended the First Assembly of God Church, where his grandfather was a pastor. His case remains unsolved.
