Lewis Guy Thornton, known as Guy, was 59 when he vanished from Jones County, Mississippi. He was last seen on Burnt Bridge Road on August 19, 2022.

Guy was reportedly driving a vehicle that belonged to someone else; that vehicle was found the next day abandoned on a dead-end road in the Burnt Bridge Community. He is also said to have been seen walking with his pit bull, Big Head, a red-and-white terrier mix that reportedly went nearly everywhere with him. A campsite on Tallahome Creek connected to Guy was found abandoned and a search of the river produced no sign of him or the dog.

Authorities have not presented a settled explanation for what happened. If anyone saw Guy, Big Head, or the vehicle in August 2022, please contact the Jones County Sheriff’s Office or Jones County Crime Stoppers.
