Christopher “Cole” Thomas was reported missing in Benson, North Carolina in November 2016 after two coworkers claimed he suddenly became paranoid, pulled over, and ran off alone into the night.
But surveillance footage later showed Cole was not alone when he left the vehicle, contradicting the story police were originally told.
As investigators dug deeper, shifting timelines, phone data, and connections to a planned drug deal raised even more questions about what really happened to Cole that night.
