check the waterways on his route home

It’s also a 1 hr 40 min walk home.

It’s quite quick for the police to issue an appeal and say they are ‘concerned’ - they usually want nothing to do with a case until at least 24 hours.

I feel there’s probably something that has caused the police to act quickly - possibly known mental health issues Etc MOO

Also this is far away from home to go to a club - was he planning on staying with friends? I can’t see it being planned to do this long walk back home at 2am in the freezing cold.

My local police force have issued missing persons appeals after merely a few hours of the person going missing and do so regularly. The risk factor here is likely because he was due home, likely vulnerable through drink and possibly a lack of contact with friends and family.

This unfortunately happens so often around Christmas time, often they go missing on a night out and close to a body of water..

Nothing has been officially confirmed, but I think there is going to be a sad outcome to this, unfortunately.

Burton Rd is very rural in places, little pavement and no street lighting. Wonder if this has been a factor, doesn't seem to be any water along side it.

How awful, it was a hit and run.

 

[Honeybirdette]

My god. This is awful. I did think when looking at the photo on Google maps the road looked very narrow and briefly wondered if he had been hit by a car.

 

[MollyHarps]

Oh my goodness how tragic.
@Lucy6226 it seems your earlier comment was probably spot on.

I hope the person who did this does the right thing now and comes forward.

Horrific. Poor Thomas.

 

[Lucy6226]

I'm hoping the driver hasn't come forward because they thought they'd hit an animal, however they will know by now it was a person

No doubt there will be some damage to their car which will help police identify the driver.

RIP Thomas

I’m glad there has been an arrest - it’s quite a quick arrest so I’m guessing he probably gave himself in.

The video on the article with Tommys dad made me sad they just seem like a really normal family
