Thomas Joseph Morgan was 85 when he went missing from his family’s six-acre property in the Green Swamp area of north Lakeland, Florida. He lived there with his daughter and her boyfriend after the family moved to the property in 2007 and the daughter became his primary caregiver. Thomas suffered from Alzheimer’s disease and is classified as endangered because of his condition.

On March 15, 2010, Thomas left the home about 3:30 p.m. for what the family called one of his habitual walks and did not return. Witnesses reported seeing him near Rockridge Road about a mile from the residence around 4:00 p.m. Extensive searches, including in the swampy terrain nearby, found no trace of him. It has been suggested he may have accepted a ride from a passerby who did not realize his disorientation.

If anyone in the Lakeland area remembers seeing Thomas that afternoon or knows of a possible route he might have taken, please share information with authorities.
