Thomas Joshua Hayes, a 41-year-old man from Astoria, Oregon, vanished after he was last seen in Long Beach, Washington, on July 18, 2019. Known to his loved ones as "Josh" or "Worm," Thomas was a man who typically remained in constant contact with his family in Astoria. His sudden and uncharacteristic silence began on July 17, 2019, the day before he was last seen, raising immediate concern among those who knew him best. At the time of his disappearance, he was reportedly wearing a red t-shirt, black athletic-style shorts, and carrying a backpack. The circumstances surrounding Thomas’s disappearance remain unclear. He was last observed walking in the Long Beach area, a coastal city in Washington. Prior to his disappearance, he had been experiencing some health concerns, specifically difficulty breathing, and he suspected he might have an undiagnosed respiratory illness. This adds a layer of vulnerability to his situation and deepens the worries of his family. Despite being from Astoria, he was known to frequent the Long Beach area. The Astoria Police Department is the investigating agency for his case. The lack of any contact or substantial leads has left his family in a state of prolonged uncertainty. The official investigation, registered under case number A20192789 with the Astoria Police Department, continues to seek information that might shed light on his whereabouts. Over the years, his case has been shared by various missing persons' organizations in the hope of generating new leads. The central facts remain that Thomas, a man with strong family ties, disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a community that continues to hope for answers. His case is a somber reminder of the ambiguity and pain that surrounds missing persons' cases.
