Thomas Clyde Pittman, a 55-year-old man, vanished from a rural area in Huntington, Texas, on May 18, 2017. On the day he went missing, he was staying with friends on Lloyd Walker Road. He informed them he was going to walk back to the camp house where he had been living. This was the last time anyone reported seeing or hearing from him. At the time of his disappearance, Pittman was in the process of moving out of the camp house to live with his ailing mother and help his twin brother with her care. His family grew concerned when they were unable to contact him and went to his residence. They discovered his truck parked with the driver's side door open. Inside the vehicle were his keys in the ignition, his cell phone charging, and a pack of cigarettes. Family members found the circumstances of the scene highly uncharacteristic of Pittman, stating he would not have typically left these personal items behind. His loved ones do not believe he would have willingly abandoned his responsibilities, particularly the care of his sick mother, who sadly passed away shortly after he went missing. Pittman is openly gay, which has led his family to express concerns that he may have been the victim of a hate crime. The details surrounding his disappearance have led investigators to consider the possibility of foul play. In the days and weeks that followed, law enforcement began an investigation, and search efforts were organized to find him. The Angelina County Sheriff's Office has continued to investigate the case over the years, with new sergeants taking over the investigation after the original investigator retired. Volunteer search groups, such as Texas EquuSearch, organized ground searches in the weeks following his disappearance, calling for volunteers on foot and with ATVs to search the dense, brushy terrain. Pittman was last seen wearing a white or gray t-shirt, tan shorts, and camo-style hiking boots. He is described as a white male with brown hair and hazel eyes, standing approximately 6 feet tall and weighing around 145 pounds. The investigation into Thomas Pittman's disappearance remains active, as his family and law enforcement continue to seek answers and hope for a resolution to the perplexing case.
