Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Thompson was last seen in Rockhill, Texas on January 10, 2019. At 2:04 p.m., she called her mother, sounding frantic. She asked to speak to her children, but they weren't at home, so she asked her mother to tell her children and her father that she loved them and was sorry. She also stated if she got out of this, she would never use drugs again. Her mother thought she heard a man talking in the background. At 2:24 p.m., Thompson called 911, sounding disoriented, saying she was in the woods and someone was chasing her and she was being shot at. The call lasted about twenty minutes before her phone battery died. She has never been heard from again. Police were dispatched to the area, and found Thompson's car stuck in a ditch just west of Rockhill, off FM 1794. They found no sign of Thompson, however. Police talked to three people who were with Thompson the day she disappeared. One of them said they had been in the area fishing, and that he had been in the car with Thompson when she got stuck in the ditch. He said he told her he was going to walk home to get another vehicle to pull the car out of the ditch, but she ran off into the woods. Investigators believe Thompson may have actually been run off the road as opposed to accidentally driving into the ditch; they found paint transfer on her car and on another vehicle. One of the three alleged witnesses is now deceased. Thompson's case remains unsolved. Other information and links : ncy Panola County Sheriff's Office 903-693-0333 September 2021 updates and sources A missing person is a person who has disappeared and whose status as alive or dead cannot be confirmed as their location and condition are not known. A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2�5% of missing children in Europe. By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends. Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece. |
