I have been able to find almost nothing on this case in the genealogy records.
I do find two willie thomas who lived in Georgia who had birth dates of 1954
Willie A. Thomas who was also know as Willie Lee Thomas, JR. dob of 10/1/1954. There is an associated Willie J. Thomas, Sr (age 91) with this Willie Thomas, Jr. And a great many other relatives.
And a Willie M. Thomas also known as Willie S. Thomas born 1/26/1954.
Will need ME to clarify dob before I can do anything else.
And the date he was "found" was 3/24/2009. Do I assume that is the day of death assigned to the person? Or could there be another date, if they weren't found for a while.
