We Remember You

Tommy Bowman has been missing for a very long time. It will be fifty years in 2007.

On 23 March 1957, 8-year-old Tommy was hiking with his family in Arroyo Seco Canyon, in Altadena, California. Near the end of the hike, Tommy ran ahead toward the family vehicle. By the time the rest of the family arrived, the boy was nowhere to be found.

Thorough searches of the area proved unsuccessful, but some information was forthcoming. A week after Tommy's disappearance, his parents received a letter purporting to be from a man who had taken him. The letter said that Tommy was okay. A short time after that, a letter to a local newspaper said that Tommy had been taken to Oklahoma.

Despite these potential leads, Tommy was never found.

Tommy was born on 6 January 1948.
He had blond hair and brown eyes.
He was 4' and 50 lbs. when last seen.

Age progression gives us an idea what Thomas Eldon Bowman might look like today at the age of 58.
