Riley Floyd Thomas, 76, of Lufkin, Texas, was last seen on January 31, 2000, when, according to his son Richard Thomas, he was dropped off at a Lufkin bus station to travel to Houston and then on to Port Arthur. Riley was homebound because of Parkinson’s disease and congestive heart failure and never arrived at his destination; there has been no contact from him since.

His disappearance was reported on April 6, 2000, by an ex-daughter-in-law. Suspicion later focused on son Richard, who moved to Oklahoma around the time Riley vanished and was subsequently convicted of forging checks from his father’s bank account. Foul play is suspected and Riley is presumed deceased, but no body has been found. The Texas Rangers Cold Case Unit continues to investigate and is offering a reward for information leading to an arrest.

Did anyone in the Lufkin, Houston, or Port Arthur areas have contact with Riley or see him around the end of January 2000?
