Tyrom Walter Thies, 20, vanished from Gresham, Oregon after being last seen on February 10, 1994. He is described as 6 feet 4 inches, slender, with brown hair and eyes, a central cowlick and a black clawing leopard or panther tattoo on his stomach. He was reportedly wearing a black leather thigh-length jacket when he disappeared.

Thies had worked as a station manager at Leathers Oil Company in Gresham and had been fired in August 1993 for theft. Three female employees — Virginia Kay Endecott, 47; Rosealie Fey-Girtz, 51; and Mary Beth Carey, 25 — were found shot to death at the station on January 17, 1994. Authorities issued a Multnomah County arrest warrant for Thies on three counts of aggravated murder and a federal warrant for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution; an informant tip on February 10, 1994 pointed law enforcement toward him that same day. Two associates, cousin Lawrence Scherf and Lori Ann Stephens, later pleaded and were convicted for roles in the robbery and murders and agreed to testify against Thies if he is found. The Gresham Police Department continues to list Thies as a person of interest and believes he may be living under an assumed identity.

Did anyone in Gresham or elsewhere ever see Tyrom after February 10, 1994, or recognize the tattoo described above?
