TX TX - Tommie Lowery, 68, Harris County, 4 Nov 2013

Authorities said Tuesday they are continuing to search for a 68-year-old man who walked away from a group home in Spring last fall and has not been seen by his family since. Tommie Lee Lowery was renting a room and getting his meals at Minola's Place at 17940 Country Walk when he left for a walk on Nov. 4 and never returned, Harris County Sheriff's Sgt. D. Thomas said. Lowery left behind all of his belongings, including his billfold, authorities said. Texas EqquSearch, a national search organization, canvassed the surrounding area for Lowery a few days later, but instead found the body of 20-year-old Nicholas Burke, who had been fatally shot.
