Tommie Lee Lowery

After 7 months, authorities still searching for missing man, 68

Authorities said Tuesday they are continuing to search for a 68-year-old man who walked away from a group home in Spring last fall and has not been seen by his family since. Tommie Lee Lowery was renting a room and getting his meals at Minola's Place at 17940 Country Walk when he left for a walk on Nov. 4 and never returned, Harris County Sheriff's Sgt. D. Thomas said. Lowery left behind all of his belongings, including his billfold, authorities said. Texas EqquSearch, a national search organization, canvassed the surrounding area for Lowery a few days later, but instead found the body of 20-year-old Nicholas Burke, who had been fatally shot.

The Harris County Medical Examiner’s was on the scene Monday of a death investigation in north Harris County.
A homeless man said he went to find shelter in a wooded area adjacent to a car wash and apartment complex along Cypress Station Drive near Butterfield Road.
The man, who didn’t want to be identified, said he discovered the skeletal remains late Monday morning. He revealed the remains looked badly decomposed, at first not even realizing what he found in the brush under blankets.

<<Last year on November 3, 2013, my grandfather went missing in Spring, TX. He was last seen wearing beige-colored khaki Dockers style pants, an orange-colored plaid button-up shirt, a gray under shirt, a blue knitted "Texans" cap and size 9 1/2 silver Nike tennis shoes.

He has medical problems and really needs to take his medications. Also, it was discovered about a week before his disappearance that he has cancer.>>

Details of Disappearance​

Lowery was last seen at his residence, a group home in the 7900 block of Country Walk Drive in Spring, Texas on November 3, 2013. He left to go for a walk and never came back. He has never been heard from again.

Lowery left all his belongings behind, even his wallet, something which his daughter said was uncharacteristic of his behavior. Few details are available in his case.
