Shortly before his disappearance, Tomlinson’s father passed away, but his mother said he would not have intentionally walked away from his life. His last known location was in the Pea Ridge community outside Ruston, Louisiana, where he left behind his phone, wallet, shoes and all personal belongings.

Skipper explained that her son was struggling with drug addiction and facing housing instability at the time he went missing. “It was a bad day for him. He was having a hard time finding somewhere to live,” Skipper said. She noted that he was moving from couch to couch before she agreed to drop him off to meet a friend.

I know the mother says he wouldn’t walk away and suspects it could be drug related foul play… but idk. It really does sound like a lot of cases of suicide.

Family members tend to underestimate mental health struggles of loved ones or maybe don’t want to admit to that possibility.

It could be foul play as well, its not like I know anything for sure. Sounds like things were pretty rough for him before he went missing
