Thomas "Duncan" Callens vanished on a cold morning after walking into a store where this heartbreaking image was caught on surveillance.
Duncan left a home on Mathis Road in Corinth, MS, during the frigid early morning hours of January 7th, 2025, leaving his truck behind after an alleged argument with his girlfriend.
At approximately 5:30 that morning, he walked into Old Bull Market located at 3107 Hwy 72 West. The only silver lining in any of this is knowing that the Clerk extended kindness and compassion to Duncan that morning, leading the Clerk to give him a black coat and a t-shirt that Duncan is said to have wrapped around his legs.
The image below was captured at 5:37 am, and it has always weighed heavily on me. Many have said he was praying, some have said he was signaling help, and others have said he was sending a message. I have spent hours and hours looking at this picture and the others from that morning over and over again, and I am still not positive what I am seeing other than to know I am seeing a man in pain and or possibly fear who needed help.
Duncan left the store that morning, giving no indication of where he was headed, but at around 10:30 am, a man who was believed to be Duncan was seen walking towards Pickwick, TN.
From there, where he went or what happened remains unknown, other than he did not meet his brother to go Duck Hunting as planned. As a result of his absence, his brother reported him missing.
(His then-girlfriend has recently claimed that she is the one who reported him missing.)
Duncan was described as a 38-year-old Caucasian male 5' 7", 175 lbs. He was wearing a blue hoodie, a green beanie, a black puffy jacket/coat, gray shorts, gray tennis shoes, and had a black shirt with yellow writing tied around his legs.
Over time, several people have reported seeing him in places across the state, but none of the sightings have been confirmed.
I am asking anyone who believes they see him to take a picture so confirmation can be confirmed or denied quickly.
I also ask that anyone who finds or has found any of the clothing items mentioned say something. It is okay if it is something from the past that you did not realize at the time; however, any trail could be the key to finding him and providing answers to his loved ones.
If you know anything that could lead to Duncan or answers as to what happened the morning of his disappearance, please call the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation at 888-827-4637.
