This is just bizarre. Understandably, DNA has progressed a lot since the early 90's, but they have a missing kid at that time and then a body....Hmmmmm.. Why wouldn't they have checked this? I did read they thought it was a female, but since they have a missing kid, why not check?

So sad. But at least the family has him now.
 
How very sad. I can't believe how much the reconstruction does look like Thomas. (you would have thought they would have been able to make this match sooner before the DNA) I hope they can find out the circumstances of his death. Prayers to the family and that they have closure.

Besides the fact it was only a skull, the uid was thought to have been deceased before Thomas went missing.
 
All I know is Ardmore and Madill are small, rural towns, not like a 'small town' suburb right next to a large city. Other than LE believing the remains found were of a female, and that's something else I don't understand, with what little remains were found, why would they be so sure it was female to make them eliminate all males, it's beyond me how these remains weren't matched up to this missing boy within weeks.

My ignorance, I didn't know they only found the skull.

I feel for his family...
 
M.E.'s Office Seeks Help In Sending Boy's Remains Home

[snip]

A cemetery there wanted two-thousand dollars to bury the boy, not including transportation from Oklahoma to California -- something Thomas' mother and husband can't afford.

[snip]

The medical examiner's office and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children are working with the family in hopes that an Oklahoma funeral home may step in to help them lay this child to rest.

Any idea what happened to this boy? There is one story online, but the majority of it is on a pay-basis...
 
Does anyone know if Ffranklin Floyd was looked at ? when he took michael from Choctaw on the 12th of sept 94 it would have been a 2 hour drive south to Madill Ok where Billy Tillery was taken on Spet 19th of 94 if floyd was hanging around hiding he might have seen Billy and thought it would be better to travel with two since they were looking for a man and 1 child not 2, maybe FFloyd used him to check into a motel and killed him because it was too hard to controll both, maybe Floyd killed Michael in Ok too, instead of a motel in GA , Michaels remains might be with the rest of Billy's. billys skull was found in Ardmore again on the way to Dallas where Floyd Diched the truck. Thoughts ?
 
Wouldn't be suprised..now that I am reading where the remains of Billy Tillery were found.Kinda makes you sick that he could fly under the radar for so long!:mad:
Hopefully the family does get some answers what happend to him and who did it.
Good post Sloane and seems like a promising lead you put out there in 2014
 
Thank you I actually came back to this today because you reminded me , the timing is AWFULLY close,and now that I think about it I'm not sure if the 19 is just the date he was found , reports are often off , I want to verify that I'm going to do some googling on this !!! and Maybe see if Matt B knows anything about this !
