"LONDON, ONT -- Thomas Rutherford, 31, of Ingersoll has been missing for more than two weeks, and now provincial police say the Major Crime Unit has joined the investigation because they "can't rule out foul play."

There has been little sign of Rutherford since he was last seen on Dec. 3 around 7 p.m.

Provincial police say that all leads are being investigated by the OPP Major Crime Unit, along with the Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB).

An OPP spokesperson said in an emailed statement that the investigation is ongoing.

"At this time, we can't rule out foul play, which is why Major Crimes and CIB are involved," said Const. Patti Cote.

Rutherford is described as:

• White
• Approximately six feet tall
• Weighing 165 pounds
• Short brown hair

At the time of his disappearance he was wearing a black and yellow Point Zero coat, a black Bench sweater, blue jeans and Air Walk shoes.

If anyone has any information of his whereabouts they are being asked to contact the Oxford County OPP Detachment at 1-888-310-1122 or by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477."

Apparently he has a history of both criminal charges and substance abuse.

Most recently, he was charged with four counts of assault, theft and failure to comply with release conditions. He pleaded guilty to four charges, including two counts of assault, and was sentenced on Nov. 26 to 90 days in jail – a sentence that he hasn’t yet completed – and given probation, the records show.

This guy used to come in where I worked. He was well-known by a lot of people, maybe not so much for good reasons. He was very troubled but he always had a vulnerability about him that made you want to help him. It's sad to be following this. I saw an article that said a police dive team was required to retrieve his body so I guess he was in water. This link says he was found at a quarry. I was hoping for a Christmas miracle for his family. RIP Tommy.
