Thin Air Claims Another Fat Man

Another large Pennsylvania-ite is victim of thin air.

Pittsburgh police are asking for the public’s help in locating 25-year old Thomas Hughes. The Beechview (near Pittsburgh) resident was last seen Saturday (Jan 23rd) around 11 p.m. wearing a black T-shirt, dark blue jeans, black boots and a black Carhart jacket. Mr. Hughes is 6-foot-1, about 260 pounds and has blonde hair and blue eyes.

Thomas was last seen at a family member's house in the Beechview area of Pittsburgh when he left abruptly.

The vehicle he was driving was found legally parked the following day near South Side's Riverfront Park unlocked and with the keys still inside.

Another gayface gone missing.

For Pittsburgh, PA - that's not even close to fat.

On January 2, he talks about packing everything up and starting fresh. His last post is a video of workers dislocated by the closure (presumably) of the Keystone XL Pipeline.

Tom’s family and police have been very tight-lipped about what exactly he was doing at his sister’s house. His Mom makes mention of “finding himself.”

His vehicle, a 2012 silver Volkswagen Routan, was found the next day near the South Side Riverfront Trail, authorities said.

The vehicle was unlocked, and the keys were in the ignition

There is $5,000 which is like $19.25/POUND

R2 - OMG. "19.25/pound"?? LOL. I love you.

Jeez, that's like the sale price, when you're approaching the "sell-by" date. If they really loved him, they could have at least come-up with $30/lb.

South Side and the river in that area has had some weird shit happen in the last few years.

A few young men have ended up missing or in the water. One disappeared in Pittsburgh and they found his body downriver in Cincinnati.

Suicide isn't out of the question but it seems more like either these guys are tripping on something and falling into the river, or they're being murdered and thrown in.

Went to look and wow, it has actually been 6 years since a string of them happened together.

"Pennsylvania-ite," OP??

Oh boy, is this another serial killer theory like the smiley face killer or the peace sign killer or whatever that was.

Also, is there any update on the vanished Texas closet-gay/“drug runner” from a few weeks ago?

R10 The post at R7 tied that death to the Smiley Face Killer.

But some say at least for the Pittsburgh deaths, it's just a bunch of drunks falling into the river. Which is possible - the South Side is a heavy party area, it would be very Occam's razor for that to be the reason some of these young men died.

[quote]At the time of his disappearance Hughes was wearing a black T-shirt, dark blue jeans, black boots and a black Carhartt jacket. He is described as being 6-feet, 1-inch tall, about 260 pounds, with blonde hair and blue eyes. According to Ruff, the evening Hughes went missing on Saturday, Jan. 23, he had locked himself in the bathroom at his sister’s home for two hours. The family initially thought it was a medical related issue since they had just finished eating dinner. Ruff stated out of nowhere Hughes rushed down the stairs and left the property driving her Volkswagen Routan van. This occurred at about 10:45 p.m.

Still missing

Apparently he spent hours in the bathroom right before he went missing.

Also, I think he's cute but he's straight with a girlfriend so why should we care about this story?

R16-About 15 of my pounds are COVID pounds that I've gained since last spring. I'm not ALL blubber. I do lift weights.

There are a lot of dogmen around Pittsburgh and other parts of Pennsylvania. Unlike Sasquatch, they'll take a human that looks vulnerable and no sign every will be found. They're vicious, cunning and know how to hide the bones and few bits left after a hunt.

If so he's 25 but dresses like he's 55 and stuck in 2005.

Why does "just finished eating dinner" result in a medical issue. Whoever wrote this article needs an editor, or whoever interviewed the family didn't press them enough for details. What a vague and bizarre reason for locking in the bathroom for two hours.

He was probably fixing up (drugs) and his family is in denial about it or embarrassed to admit it.

What is he about a size 16?

by Anonymousreply 22February 26, 2021 3:09 AM

6'2" should not weigh more than 200 lbs. If you use the metric system, it would be easier to tell if you are a fattard or not.

I believe this case has something to do with necrophilia and cannibalism. Fat carcass doesn't just disappear.

Most likely correct.

A Volkswagen Routan is a minivan. That screams “hand me down from mom to loser 25 year old son who can’t hold a job.”

t21 LOL They meant stomach or gut problems.

Drugs would make sense for both mysteries.

He could have gotten shot by his neighbor while shoving snow and they hid the body

by Anonymousreply 34March 5, 2021 5:14 PM

I know nothing about this case, but I can read. The Routan van he drove off in (under the presumable influence of drugs) wasn't his, it belonged to someone else named Ruff (his sister?).

My first big belly laugh of the day (even though I’m way late to your reply). Thank you for that.

He’s a handsome bloke, it’s sad. It’d be sadder if he were a bit more svelte, but whatever. Incidentally his hometown of Ridgway is only about a 20 minute drive from my own. Middle of nowhere, backwater PA. Hunting, fishing, ATVs. You go on Grindr and there’ll be one guy in your town, the next one is 19 miles away, and the next one is like 59 miles away.

But enough about him, I want to talk about PAUL KOCHU. What a hottie! Is he gone forever?

by Anonymousreply 40March 27, 2021 6:15 PM

he search for 25-year-old Tommy Hughes, who’s been missing for nearly three months, is over.

His parents say his body was found in the Ohio River near Monaca.
