Thomas Wayne Hurst, 55, vanished from Metairie, Louisiana, after he was last seen on September 12, 1997. Public details about his disappearance are exceptionally scarce: it is not known where he was that day, who he might have been with, or what his state of mind was when he disappeared.

He was described as a Caucasian male, brown hair, blue eyes, 5 feet 6 inches tall and about 125 pounds. The Louisiana Department of Justice investigated the case, but records show no apparent breakthroughs and the matter remains unresolved.

If anyone knew Thomas, saw him in Metairie around September 12, 1997, or recognizes those tattoos, please come forward with information.
