Thomas Howard Parish was 26 when he was last seen in central Connecticut around the Labor Day period of 1987. The specific last-contact date is given as August 15, 1987, and his disappearance is thought to have occurred in either Durham or Branford, Connecticut. He was reported to the Connecticut State Police on April 4, 1988, and a NamUs case was opened March 31, 2017.

Parish stood between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 10 inches and weighed about 160 to 165 pounds. He had blondish-brown hair, blue eyes, a chipped front tooth, a small scar through his left eyebrow, and multiple scars on his knuckles. He had tattoos on his right arm: a Playboy bunny on the upper arm and a tank on the lower arm, and he sometimes used the alias David Pardus. He was said to bite his nails and often wore blue jeans and flannel shirts.

Few details about the circumstances of his disappearance are available and his whereabouts remain unknown. Does anyone have information about Thomas Parish, his movements in August 1987, or the alias David Pardus?
