Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP22789) and 1 other source
Thomas Phillips, a 54-year-old man, was last seen in Austin, Texas, on January 1, 2010. The details surrounding his disappearance remain limited, and his case has been classified as a long-term missing person. Described as a Caucasian male with brown hair, Thomas stood 5'10" tall and weighed approximately 125 pounds at the time of his disappearance. Despite ongoing efforts, there have been no significant developments in his case since he was last seen.
