NY NY - Thomas Medlin, 15, Stony Brook, 9 Jan 2026 *last seen on Manhattan same day*

Being that I live not far from where Thomas disappeared from, and have not seen any "real" updates, I thought I would pop on here. My heart wanted to believe there there was another way off that bridge unseen.

Here's a short video of Thomas's last known location on the Manhattan Bridge. Sorry for the shaky phone footage, but I think it gives a decent overview of what the pedestrian path is like on the bridge.

Being that I live not far from where Thomas disappeared from, and have a son close in age, I have been distressed about not seeing any "real" updates. After a google search really only yielded AI generated nonsense, I came on here to see if there was more since the last I had heard was him being on the bridge. My heart wanted to believe there there was another way off that bridge unseen. Thanks for posting your video even if it's not what my heart wanted. Prayers to his family

So sad. I was hoping we’d hear updates too, but nothing so far it seems. I hope he is found so his family can have closure.

@halfpintny Have you heard anything about searches?

@halfpintny Have you heard anything about searches?

I have heard nothing. IMO if there were to be searches it would be in the water and the water is frozen. I have a boy around the same age who has suffered in the past with suicidal thoughts and this case just hits close to home. praying for answers for the family. I would never be able to stop searching if my boy was lost
