Family and community members are still searching for answers in the case of Tom Andrew Lewis, a 35-year-old man from Huntington, West Virginia, who has not been seen since June 7, 2024.
What Happened
According to Missing People In America, Lewis was staying at the OVP rehab center in Lawrence County, Ohio, while working toward recovery. He left the facility on his own that day in June, walking away on foot with nothing but the clothes he was wearing. He did not have any form of identification with him at the time.
Since that day, there has been no confirmed sighting of him, and his whereabouts remain unknown.

The case has drawn attention on social media, where the nonprofit organization Missing People In America shared his story to try to widen the search.
The group describes itself as running the country’s largest interactive missing persons database and says it only posts cases that have been verified through law enforcement.
Comments on the post reflect the mix of hope and heartbreak that often surrounds long-term missing persons cases.
One commenter wrote that people should come forward with any information, even details that might be hard to hear, because families need closure either way. Others simply left messages of prayer and support for Lewis and his loved ones.
How to Help
Investigators with the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Department are asking anyone with information about Lewis’s location or possible whereabouts to come forward. Because he left without identification, authorities note that he may not be easily recognized if encountered by someone unfamiliar with his case.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Department at 740-532-3525.
Cases like this often depend on tips from the public, even small details that might seem unimportant. A sighting, a name, or a memory from someone who crossed paths with Lewis after he left the facility could be the piece that helps bring him home.
His case remains open, and his family continues to hold out hope that he will be found safe.
