Deceased/Not Found NC - Christopher 'Cole' Thomas, 22, Benson, 25 Nov 2016 *Arrests*

I still believe there are areas that really need to be searched.There are areas around Benson that are heavily wooded and would have been easy for him to be hidden within the time frame LE was asking questions about.

Questions Remain in 2016 Disappearance of Cole Thomas in Johnston County

From the link:

JOHNSTON COUNTY, N.C. – Nearly a dozen people gathered in Benson Sunday to release balloons in remembrance of a man who went missing just before Thanksgiving in 2016.

[...]

The Benson Police Department says this case remains under active investigation by both their department and the SBI. A $17,000 reward is still being offered to anyone who has information that could solve this case.

In a statement released to Spectrum News, the department said:

“The Benson Police Department is continuing to actively investigate the disappearance of Christopher Cole Thomas. We partnered with the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation shortly after Cole Thomas was reported missing, and they continue to offer their assistance to us, with manpower and technical expertise, and as liaisons to various other state and federal agencies and resources. As leads are developed and information received, it is promptly followed up on by our department’s investigators, and/or by SBI agents; and interviews, searches, and other advanced investigative means are still being utilized in this case.

We stay in contact with the Thomas family on a regular basis, and we have communicated on multiple occasions our sincere and shared goal to locate their son and return him home…

Someone, somewhere has the information needed to resolve this case, and bring closure to the Thomas family, and one telephone call or email could potentially help make that happen."

Thomas says he believes his son is dead and he is now fighting for justice.

No remains have been discovered in this case.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Benson Police Department at 919-894-2091 or by email at [email protected], or the SBI at 919-779-8188, or 1-800-334-3000 after business hours.

EPISODE 228: Christopher "Cole" Thomas — The Vanished Podcast

22-year-old Cole Thomas had taken a break from college to work a construction job and earn some money. During the fall of 2016, he traveled from his home in Florida to work on a job in Minnesota. Right before Thanksgiving, a couple of co-workers that he had recently met asked Cole to drive them to N

Cole Thomas was led to believe that he was going to North Carolina to have thanksgiving dinner with one of his coworker friends only because neither of the two had there drivers license.
There was no thanksgiving dinner it was just a drug run an Cole paid the price with his life.
I believe this would have been the outcome no matter what.
