22-year-old Christopher “Cole” Thomas went missing on November 25, 2016, from Benson, North Carolina. Cole was travelling from Minnesota to Florida for Thanksgiving. Friends stated that he pulled off Interstate 95, got of the car near North Elm and East Morgan streets in Benson, North Carolina. Cole was last seen approximately at 3 am. At least two of the four men previously arrested in the case may not be off the hook, even though their charges were dropped.
