Clearwater Police detectives are reaching out to the Tampa Bay area public in their search for a 30-year-old man who has been missing since November 1st. MARK ALLEN THOMPSON (01-23-71), of 100 Waverly Way, was last seen leaving a downtown Clearwater lounge sometime after midnight on Wednesday, October 31st. Thompson has a medical condition and it's believed he is without the needed medication, increasing concerns for his well being. Thompson's mother - with whom he lives - called Clearwater Police on Friday, November 2nd to say her son had neither returned home nor had he been to work. Thompson's 1998 Ford Ranger pickup truck was found in Tampa on Monday, November 5th. According to Case Agent Detective Chris Housholder, there is no evidence of foul play in Thompson's disappearance, and it's being handled as a Missing Person investigation. But Detective Housholder is concerned that Thompson hasn't contacted his family or employer for nearly two weeks. Thompson, a 5-foot, 10-inch, 160 lb. Caucasian man with brown hair (a photograph is available at www.clearwaterpolice.org/news/thompson.htm) was dressed in khaki knee-length shorts and a white shirt with blue stripes when he left the Pro Shop Pub, 840 Cleveland Street, on November 1st. Anyone with information about Thompson is asked to contact Detective Housholder at 727-562-4365. /s/ |
