MP of the week: Shaun Thornhill

This week’s featured missing person is Shaun Thornhill, who was last seen in St. Francisville, Louisiana on January 23, 2012. Thornhill had come to town looking for work, but got arrested for public intoxication and spent the night of January 20/21 in jail. He bonded out the next day and stayed in a local hotel for the next two days and possibly a third; they’re not sure. On January 23, his pickup truck was found abandoned in Adams County, Mississippi with all his stuff inside.

I can’t say what happened to Shaun Thornhill, of course, but I don’t think it was anything good. I tend to suspect that anyone who left behind all their belongings, particularly their car, has probably come into some trouble. If he wanted to leave on his own he would have needed transportation to wherever he was going.
