Toby Ray Coleman was 18 and living in New Caney, Texas, when he was last seen on May 19, 1997. That night he attended a birthday party where a confrontation left him cut on the arm by a broken beer bottle and threatened with death; he did not report the incident. He returned home with his arm wrapped in a shirt, received care from his parents, then left again with a female companion and was never seen or heard from afterward.

Authorities did not file a missing persons report until August 25, 1997, a date that appears in many records as his disappearance date. Foul play is suspected because of the threat and injury he suffered the night he vanished. Toby was described as well liked, with a scar near his left eye and a buzzed haircut. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and its Cold Case Division continue to investigate.

If anyone knew Toby, the people he spent time with that night, or has information about his movements after he left home, can you share what you know?
