In the Fall of 1988, everything was headed in the right direction for 31-year-old Cathy Thom. After a childhood and then young adulthood that kept her on the move constantly, she was finally settling into a new job that promised to keep her home in Arlington, Texas with her favorite person in the world – her 10-year-old son, Danny. But in mid-November that year, Cathy vanished without a trace. For a month, her family worried the worst had befallen her, but miraculously, Cathy reappeared. The Arlington Police, however, had a difficult time getting any information from the traumatized woman, giving the folks Cathy said kidnapped and held her in captivity the upper hand.

If you have any information about the kidnapping and captivity of Catherine Ann Thom, please call the Arlington Police at 817-274-4444.
