“25 Years Later: Mysterious Disappearance Unraveled When Sister Spots Him in Bizarre News Photo!”
“My name is Marcie. My little brother, Tommy, had been missing since August of 1999. He just VANISHED with no trace. Not even his vehicle was ever located,” she wrote on a GoFundMe page.
But it was the story published by USA Today in May 2024, featuring an unidentified man, that urged Marcie to contact the Lassen County Sheriff’s Department on Friday.

She described her brother’s disappearance to the best of her knowledge, saying he had been reported missing from Doyle, a small Californian town located approximately 45 miles from Reno, Nevada.
Deputy Derek Kennemore reached out to the hospital mentioned in the article and got back to Marcie, telling her the man had been transferred to another LA facility back in July.
Later on, the LAPD’s Missing Persons Unit confirmed the patient to be Marcie’s brother.
Organizations described Tommy’s discovery as nothing short of a “miracle”
