On Tuesday, October 14th, 2025, at approximately 5:37 p.m., Forest Grove Police Department Officers responded to a report of a missing person near the intersection of Valley Crest Way and Circle Crest Drive. Family members reported 78-year-old Thomas Weightman left their nearby residence on foot at approximately 10 a.m. but did not return home. During a brief cellphone contact, Thomas said he fell into a hole and was unsure of his location. Attempts to locate Thomas using cell phone triangulation have been unsuccessful in the remote area.
Thomas is described as 5’9’’, 165 lbs. with gray hair, gray beard, and glasses. Thomas was last seen wearing black shoes, blue jeans, a red flannel bottom-up shirt, and a dark colored baseball hat.
