Family Waits
15-Year-Old Boy Vanished After Threat of 'Tanning'
Youth Unheard From in Seven Months;
Borrowed 75 Cents to Run Away From Home By DONNA MIKELS '! What happened to Tommy Bailey? Where did the 15-year-old youth go when he disappeared last July? Is he happy somewhere in a new life he started for himself, unmindful of a grieving family he left behind? Is he ill, in trouble, homesick and afraid to return? Or worse, does he lie somewhere in an unmarked grave? These are the questions a tortured mother and father ask themselves every day, as many Tuen this y times as their thoughts turn toicap’t wipe oSmiranee, howeves: the boy who simply walked out hearts of Tommy's old-fashioned, into the night last July 29 and homespun dad and mother.
