In January 2002, 20-year-old Christopher Thompkins mysteriously vanished while working as a land surveyor in the woods near Ellerslie, Georgia. Walking just 50 feet behind his coworkers, he disappeared without a sound, leaving behind only a boot, scattered coins, and his tools near a barbed wire fence. Despite extensive searches using helicopters, dogs, and ground teams, no trace of him was ever found. Theories about his disappearance range from foul play and disorientation to supernatural or extraterrestrial involvement, yet none have been substantiated. Over 20 years later, his family continues to seek answers, but the case remains an unsolved enigma, haunting those involved and leaving behind one of Georgia's most baffling mysteries.(commercial at 8:00)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

No one, says Putnam County sheriff Rank is not everything, even when it pays nearly $134,000. Putnam County Sheriff Kevin McConville has asked the Legislature to reclassify a lieutenant's position to first sergeant because an officer "voluntarily demoted himself" to deputy to make more money. Despite the title and $133,888 salary, the lieutenant position is unattractive to officers because it doesn't include overtime, McConville told the Legislature's Personnel Committee before its members voted on Sept. 5 to send his request to the full body. Deputies, sergeants and first sergeants earn overtime, which can substantially boost their pay, said McConville. According to SeeThroughNY, a public database of municipal salaries, 30 Putnam deputies earned more than a lieutenant in 2023, led by Matthew Kraisky ($195,309), Christopher Tompkins ($170,383) and Peter Vigilio ($168,727). A lieutenant also is not eligible for compensatory time and is not represented by the union. McConville said he asked three officers who had passed a civil service exam for lieutenant, along with eligible sergeants, if they wanted the promotion. "In short, their answer was no," he said. In March, the Legislature approved a five-year agreement with the Police Benevolent Association, which represents deputies, investigators and sergeants. PBA members received a 3.5 percent raise, retroactive to 2023, under the first year of the agreement, which expires in 2027. Salaries increased by 2.75 percent this year and will rise by the same amount in 2025. The final two years of the agreement include 3 percent raises. With the 2023 and 2024 raises, the existing first sergeant's salary rose to $135,186 from $127,119. If the full Legislature approves the reclassification when it meets Oct. 1, the additional first sergeant will be assigned to the patrol division and earn $127,119. Increasing the salary for the lieutenant position "creates a problem" for higher ranks, McConville said, and raises would likely be needed for the undersheriff ($149,651) and the five captains ($141,624). Legislator Ginny Nacerino, who represents Patterson and is a member of the Personnel Committee, said that the problem is not limited to the Sheriff's Department. County employees represented by other unions have declined promotions because their pay with overtime exceeds management salaries, she said.

On January 25, 2002, Christopher Tompkins was a 20-year-old young man living with his mother. He was working at a local surveying company. His mother knew the owner of the survey company as she babysat his children. Christopher arrived at work at 8:00 am, left his car at the office, and rode with a co-worker to their job site that day in Ellerslie, Georgia. They were working on County Line Road, in Ellerslie, part of Harris County, Georgia. The four men were working in a line formation, with Christopher being at the end of the line. Each surveyor was about fifty feet away from the next in line.
