In the late summer of 2002, the family of Patrick D. Tompkins would be forever altered by his sudden and unsettling disappearance. On September 28, 2002, in Shreveport, Louisiana, the 41-year-old man was at his mother's home located in the 3300 block of Old Mooringsport Road. At the time, he was described as a Black male, standing at 6'1" and weighing approximately 180 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. The events that transpired on that day have left his loved ones with unanswered questions and lingering uncertainty. The circumstances leading up to Patrick's disappearance are distressing. Reports indicate that he made a despairing statement, saying he "couldn't take it anymore," before running out the back of the residence. Shortly after he exited the home, two gunshots were heard. From that moment, Patrick D. Tompkins has not been seen or heard from again. No information has been made publicly available regarding what clothing he was wearing or any personal items he may have had with him at the time he went missing. The investigation into Patrick's disappearance, handled by the Shreveport Police Department, has remained open in the years since he was last seen. Despite the passage of time, his case is still classified as an endangered missing person, and the specific details surrounding his vanishing remain unclear. The lack of resolution has left a void for his family, who are still without answers about what happened to him after he ran from his mother's house on that September day. The case is an overview of a man who vanished under alarming and mysterious circumstances, leaving behind a painful and unresolved loss for his family and community.
