Thomas Joe Darnell was 17 when he was last seen in Hollister, Missouri, late on the night of August 27, 2007. He was last observed shortly before midnight after being at a local Countrymart and later seen at the White River Mountain Apartments. At the time he went missing he was described as 5 feet 11 inches, 160 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, a pierced left ear and a burn mark on his left forearm.

The disappearance was not reported to the Hollister Police Department until October 4, 2007. Authorities have classified his case as an endangered missing person and have circulated age-progressed images and shared the case with multiple missing-person organizations. Very few details about the circumstances of his disappearance have been released, and investigators have considered that he may have remained in the local area.

Does anyone who lived in Hollister in 2007 remember seeing Thomas around Countrymart or the White River Mountain Apartments that night?
