Thomas Doolan was 59 and living in a sober living facility on Berkeley Avenue in New London, Connecticut, when he disappeared on December 6, 2019. He’d been sober about a year and a half and remained in regular contact with his family; his daughter Paige Knobel said he wouldn’t go more than a few days without checking in. The morning of December 6 he texted his family and left the facility under the impression he might be asked to leave. He left most personal items behind, including his wallet and phone.

He was last seen wearing a black winter coat, blue jeans and black or tan work boots, and was believed to have a black backpack and a black men’s mountain bicycle with a flashlight attached to the handlebars with green duct tape. His bank account and EBT card were not used after he disappeared. He’s described as white, brown hair, blue eyes, 5 feet 10 inches, 190–200 pounds, with tattoos including tragedy/comedy masks on his shoulder and a heart with a crooked knife on his bicep, plus scars on his abdomen and back.

No trace of his whereabouts after December 6, 2019, is known. Did anyone in New London or nearby see Thomas or that distinctive bicycle around early December 2019?
