<<The oldest person from Connecticut listed in the database is also one of the most baffling cases: Thomas Drew was 91 when he disappeared from his Salisbury home in July 2007.

Drew’s part-time caretaker told police that he walked out of his home while she was watching a movie. When the caretaker left the house about 15 minutes later to retrieve him, Drew, reportedly a frail man who had trouble moving and suffered from Alzheimer’s, was nowhere to be found.

Extensive searches of the area by police turned up no trace of Drew, a retired fashion designer who is still officially listed as missing more than a decade after his disappearance.>>
