The disappearance of Thomas 'Tom' Edward Profitt on May 3, 2006, has left his family searching for answers for nearly two decades. On that day, the 45-year-old from Winchester, Kentucky, spoke with his daughter in Lexington, who had just given birth to his granddaughter. He was reportedly overjoyed and told her he was on his way to the hospital to see her and the new baby. However, Thomas never arrived, and that was the last time he was ever heard from.
His vehicle, a maroon and red 1997 Buick Century with a distinctive personalized front license plate that read 'Tom and Anna,' also vanished and has never been located. The Kentucky license plate number on the car was 165ADW.
At the time he went missing, Thomas was described as being six feet tall and weighing between 215 and 220 pounds. He had blue eyes, shoulder-length gray hair, and a goatee. He wore glasses and had a scar on his chest, as well as a missing portion of his right index finger. On the day of his disappearance, he was believed to be wearing a gray and red plaid shirt with the sleeves rolled up, jeans, and a wedding band. He was also thought to be carrying a Bic lighter, a door lock on his keychain, and a red pocket knife. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance grew more complex when his wife at the time reportedly gave a conflicting account, suggesting he had left for the river and that she would never see him again.
The investigation into Thomas Profitt's disappearance remains an active cold case with the Winchester Police Department. Over the years, law enforcement has revisited the case, seeking new leads and information from the public. His daughters and sister have continued to advocate for him, hoping to one day find the answers that have eluded them for so long. The case serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring pain and uncertainty that families of the missing face. Despite the passage of time, the search for Thomas, a man described as a well-liked family man, continues, with his loved ones holding out hope for closure. Anyone with information regarding the disappearance of Thomas Profitt is encouraged to contact the Winchester Police Department.Last Seen: May 3, 2006
