Too bad this guy does not have a photo.

Right? That and more details in his missing report.
Where was he last seen in Tacoma? His house? A store?
Who saw him last?
Did he have a car?
Who reported him missing and what was their relationship?

I can't believe this is the only information available. Someone files a MP report and says "Yeah I last saw Thomas in Tacoma the other day" and that's it?! No exact time or location? Sadly, there are so many similar to this case with very little info. Maybe there is more to the actual report and we are only provided part of it.
