Thomas Jay Kerr, 37, was last seen in Las Vegas in the early morning hours of September 26, 1997, after spending the previous evening at Mugshots Lounge on South Sandhill Road. Accounts vary slightly about his final known location: some place him near South Sandhill and the Flamingo hotel, others at a family member’s home in the 3600 block of Forestcrest, but all agree that he vanished after that point.

Kerr, known as Tommy, Tom, or Tomyson, left behind essentially all his belongings — a dented Ford pickup, tools, wallet, car keys, camping gear, and jewelry — which his family says was out of character. He worked as a carpet layer and electrician and enjoyed camping, including trips to Mount Potosi. Investigators say there is little evidence in the file and foul play is suspected; several potential suspects were identified but no arrests were made. His mother believed substance problems may have played a role, a theory not substantiated by evidence.

Does anyone remember seeing Thomas in Las Vegas around September 25–26, 1997, or have information about his movements that night?
