Does anyone know what color SHORTS TJ was wearing that evening? I know he was wearing a red shirt and I was told white swim trunks? Anyone able to back this up?
________

Per the Texas Department of Public Safety - Texas DPS Missing Persons Bulletin - Thomas Murray Jr.:

Miscellaneous Notes: Last seen wearing a red t-shirt with white lettering, khaki shorts and a dark colored baseball cap. Missing person is a student at Sam Houston State University.

Per Texas EquuSearch printable poster:

TES - Murray

. . . black & white swim shorts . . .

The official TXDPS poster states khaki shorts; TES states black & white swim shorts.

If I were Hannah, I would call the MCSO lead investigator on TJ's case and get clarification. If one is searching, it would be helpful to know what the person was assumed to be wearing. Or perhaps Mr. Murray knows what TJ was wearing.

DebbieK, if you see this would you please provide Hannah with the above info? Thanks!

Ann,
I posted on TJ's facebook page to Hannah. I have no idea what color shorts TJ had on when he disappeared. Calling MCSO is probably her best bet. Mr. Murray may know!

Answering your question, Yes, I've heard about Ali missing up here in Spring. She has been missing a good while..so sad. Sad

Also, the case of little Emma breaks my heart. I know a lady that worked at the daycare little Emma went to. She told me that one day, when she was leaving work, she saw a man standing out by the street. She reported this to her Director. Later she learned, that this was the boyfriend of Emma's mother. He was ordered to stay away from this child, but he didn't. When they pulled out of the parking lot, he got in the car. Another time, his little boy came to daycare, with bruises all over him. They called CPS. Bottom line is I think CPS dropped the ball on these children. These children endured a lot before little Emma was murdered. It is just devastating.

DebbieK, thank you for posting the message to Hannah.

Either today or tomorrow I will respond to your comment about Emma on Emma Thompson's thread or perhaps PM you.

I think the lady at the daycare was talking about Emma, Lucas Coe's daughter. He has a daughter named Emma who he was not allowed to be around unless he was supervised by one of two designated people. (per CPS) Also, Coe does not have a son. Maybe the lady was referring to Coe's previous girlfriend's son.
