Thomas Oliver Gwaltney, 18 when he was last seen on June 2, 2020, went missing from his grandparents’ home in Virginia Beach. He is described as a white male, 6 feet 2 inches tall, 137 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. The circumstances of his leaving the residence are not publicly detailed.

Sometime after he left, his grandparents received emails from Thomas in which he said he was alright and asked to be left alone. The family believes he may have traveled to Raleigh, North Carolina, though no public explanation for that belief has been provided. An official missing persons report was filed with the Virginia Beach Police Department on August 3, 2021, and the case was entered into NamUs in September 2022.

There is limited public information about his movements after June 2, 2020. If anyone saw Thomas in Virginia Beach, Raleigh, or elsewhere after that date or has information about his whereabouts, please come forward.
