Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP37794) and 9 other sources
Thomas Michael Poirier was 31 years old when he was last seen in North Hampton, New Hampshire, on November 1, 1987. He was reported missing by his mother that same date, and the North Hampton Police Department has remained the listed investigating agency. Available public summaries describe his case as a missing person case and indicate that he has not been heard from since his disappearance.

According to investigators cited in public reporting, Thomas’s mother believed he may have been traveling to one of several possible destinations: New York City, Gainesville, Florida, or California. Other case summaries similarly state that he may have gone to New York, Florida, or California, but no confirmed public information appears to establish that he reached any of those locations. The available records leave the circumstances surrounding his disappearance very limited, and sources note that few details are publicly available.

Thomas is described as a White male with light brown or brown hair and blue eyes. At the time he was last seen, he was about 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighed approximately 150 pounds. A scar on his left cheek is listed as a distinguishing physical feature. New Hampshire’s public missing-person listing also notes a small brown stone necklace as a clothing or personal-item description associated with the case.

The public information in Thomas’s case is sparse, but what is available reflects a family’s enduring uncertainty and a long passage of time without answers. His mother’s report and her concern that he may have been headed out of state remain central pieces of the known timeline. Because the case information does not indicate a resolution status of Alive or Deceased, the publicly available information should be treated as an unresolved missing person case unless law enforcement releases updated information.

Anyone with information about Thomas Michael Poirier’s disappearance is directed in public case materials to contact the North Hampton Police Department. The department is listed as the investigating agency, with the phone number 603-964-2198 appearing in case records. Even after many years, small details can matter in older missing-person investigations, especially when they may help clarify travel plans, last known contacts, or possible sightings.
