Thomas disappeared at the age of 31, in 2003. He was in Italy, in the town of Ancona, when he withdrew some money from an ATM. But from there – there has been no contact from Thomas to his family. This episode explores a brothers love – a story of a man who would often go travelling, on religious pilgrimages, and who would sometimes disappear for periods of time. And it’s a story of hope, that Thomas will be found alive and well. The episode charts a number of more recent sightings, of people matching his description.
