Tragedy Strikes in Wakefield as Husband Vanishes, Leaving Family and Friends Devastated.
A 45-year-old man, Jason Thomas, has been missing for over three weeks after he disappeared on December 12th, leaving his wife, Kristen Bartoli, heartbroken and desperate for answers. According to Boston 25 News, Thomas was last seen walking home from an unknown destination, leaving behind his phone and wallet.
Thomas's family and friends have launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for private investigators and Bartoli's daily needs, describing his disappearance as "every loved one's worst nightmare." The fundraiser has raised nearly $55,000 so far. A message posted on the GoFundMe page reads: "Jason, if you're reading this, please know that we all love you so much... Please let us know you are okay. You are deeply missed, and we are holding onto hope every single day that you will come home."
Thomas's disappearance has left his wife reeling after both of their parents died in November. Bartoli said Thomas was having a difficult time coping with the loss and described it as "really overwhelming." She also stated that the conductor on a train passing through the area shortly after midnight did not see him board.
Police have released information about Thomas, describing him as 5 feet, 6 inches tall and 180 pounds, wearing a white and gray puffer jacket, dark pants, black sneakers with white laces, and a black winter hat and gloves. If anyone has any information or potential sightings, they are urged to call the Wakefield Police Department at 781-245-1212.
Thomas's family and friends continue to plead for help tracking him down, calling on anyone who may have seen him to come forward. As the search efforts continue, Thomas's loved ones remain hopeful that he will be found safe and sound, and are holding onto hope every single day that he will return home.

"The reports of my death were greatly exaggerated." 
Unfortunately it looks like Jason's story has become a worst nightmare for his family and friends 
. It's heartbreaking to think about Kristen going through this alone after losing her parents too... 
The outpouring of support from the GoFundMe campaign is really inspiring, though! 
We can all keep hope alive by sharing any info that might lead to Jason's safe return 
it's not fair at all & I'm sending all my positive vibes to the family & investigators trying to find Jason
but we need more eyes & ears on the ground searching for him ASAP 
Jason's description is all over socials rn so let's keep sharing & hoping that someone sees something & comes forward with info 
I mean come on, 55k for a GoFundMe? That's like, a small fortune! 
What if Jason just wants to stay away for a bit, you know? Like, personal space and all that. Maybe Kristen is just too clingy? 
And what's with the train conductor not seeing him board? Did he just walk off into thin air? 
It's like the cops are trying to solve this mystery too fast. Shouldn't they just give Jason some space? 
they're raising money for private investigators & daily needs - $55k in 3 wks? 
... 55k raised on gofundme already? 
i wish the police could give us more info about what might have happened... did he just get lost or was it something more? 
The police are getting involved, but I hope they can dig up some clues soon... 5'6" with those specific clothes is a pretty distinctive combo, so maybe someone will come forward with info? 
Jason's disappearance has left his wife Kristen in an unbearable situation 
. The amount of money raised for private investigators and daily needs is incredible 
it's just devastating to think about what he must have gone through in those last few months.
️. The fact that his wife lost both parents in November too is just heartbreaking 
police are still looking out for him btw keep those tips coming, wakefield police department
