Thomas L. Hayden Sr., 63, vanished from his Dover Township, Pennsylvania home in the autumn of 2011. He was last seen by his doctor on September 27, 2011; an October 25 appointment was later canceled by his wife, who said he was no longer in the area. Family members later reported him missing in January 2017 after years without contact.

Hayden was described as a white male, six feet tall, about 250 pounds, with gray hair, hazel eyes and several distinctive tattoos: a rattlesnake from his left knee to his ankle, three roosters on his back, an eagle on his right arm, and a small rooster and a bald eagle on his left arm. In January 2012 a plastic bag found along Conewago Road contained a human scalp with hair tied in a ponytail, pieces of cloth and bloodstained items; initial DNA testing produced no match until family-submitted samples were compared.

Investigators say the case involves significant inconsistencies in accounts of Hayden’s whereabouts and allegations of financial exploitation after he disappeared. His full body has never been recovered. Does anyone who knew Thomas or lived in Dover Township in 2011 remember his routines, associates, or seeing him after September 2011?
