Thomas Stephen Stump, 41, of Summerland Key, Florida, was last seen on July 24, 1995. That morning he was preparing for a family vacation with his wife, Bernie, and their two daughters, and visited a gas station, a bank, and the post office as part of those preparations. Later that day his daughter contacted Thomas’s mother saying the family believed he had committed suicide.

Accounts about what happened that day conflict. Bernie at one point told a rental car agency Thomas had drowned himself, but she initially reported he lost the car keys while swimming. The couple had been having marital problems amid suspicions of an affair involving a local radio personality; that man later married Bernie and moved into the Stump home. Investigators considered possible foul play, but Bernie and her new husband passed polygraph tests and no substantial evidence has emerged. Thomas was declared legally dead in 2000; his body has never been found.

What can someone who knew Thomas or who was in Summerland Key in July 1995 add about his movements that day?
