Thomas Gene Trotter, 34, disappeared from his Lone Tree Road residence in Oroville, California, around the July 4th weekend in 1995. He was last seen at home during that period; witnesses reported seeing neighbor Dennis Oates packing Trotter’s pickup truck the day Trotter went missing, saying he and Trotter were going camping. Trotter’s truck was later found abandoned in the hills east of Oroville.

Investigators found blood and bullet holes inside Trotter’s house, facts that led authorities to suspect foul play. Dennis Oates was convicted of first-degree murder in connection with Trotter’s disappearance, though Trotter’s body has not been located. Oates has not disclosed Trotter’s whereabouts, and the investigation remains open.

If anyone knew Thomas, his routines, or saw his truck in the hills east of Oroville around early July 1995, please share what you remember.
