Thomas ("TJ") Murray, Jr. -- Missing 10/19/11

Family of missing SHSU student T.J. Murray not giving up hope

Updated at 04:12 PM - January 19, 2012

KTRK - Houston, Tx


Authorities are searching for 24-year-old Thomas (TJ) Murray Jr. He was last seen leaving a Montgomery County sports bar after midnight on October 19.


HOUSTON (KTRK) -- The family of a missing Sam Houston State University student is not giving up on locating him.

Thursday marked the three-month anniversary of T.J. Murray's disappearance. The 24-year-old was last seen at a Spring sports bar in October.

I am so happy to see that KTRK -Houston did an update.

I wish Montgomery County Sheriff's Office would do a Press Conference with the greater Houston media, give an update on TJ's case and plea to the public for information and leads in TJ's case.

If MCSO does not have the resources to investigate TJ's case, I think they should request the assistance of the Texas Rangers.

I hope TJ's family have the opportunity to meet with MCSO and request that MCSO request the assistance of the Texas Rangers.

The following is posted on the Facebook set up for TJ Murray. The initial comment by Keeble would be yesterday, 1-19-12:


Debbie Millner Keeble

A MESSAGE FROM TOM MURRAY: I just got the word that Tom Murray wants all the help we can give him to find his son. He is welcoming all tips and rumors, and taking notes, for he is desperate to find his son, TJ. If you want to post them on here, that is fine. If you want to send a private message, that is fine, too. I will make sure Mr. Murray gets the information.

We all know that TJ got in an altercation with a girl that night. Her boyfriend/friends were NOT happy. However, from what I understand, many of these "friends" have been given lie detector tests and have passed them. So what happened to TJ? Isn't it strange that he disappeared after an altercation that night? Did he upset people so bad, that they called some buddies to go after TJ? TJ did not fall off the face of the earth. Any information you have would be greatly appreciated!

Now that a new semester has started, The Optimist Club at SHSU will be trying to set up another day to sell the bracelets and raise awareness of TJs story. I'm looking for volunteers to help sit at the booth and pass out reward fliers. I don't know how you can miss someone that you never knew, but I think of TJ and his family often. Last semester's booth brought a lot of attention to TJ, and we only had a handful of volunteers through the week. If you are interested, please let me know. Let's bring our BearKat home!

Ann,
Just wanting to clear something up. Per my statement above that it is my understanding that "friends" of TJ have passed lie detector tests, please note that I read this on the Bring TJ Murray Home facebook page. It was posted by another member on FB, so it is simply hearsay. This may, or may not, be true. I do not ask Mr. Murray, nor does he volunteer, details of this case. I respect that. Thanks.

Hi, DebbieK!

Welcome to Reality Chatter!

I do not do Facebook but the Link I've provided as the "source" below info I copied and pasted here from the "Facebook Bring TJ Murray Home Safe" page is the Link available to non-members.

No worry about your comment. When I posted your comment from the Facebook page, I took it as it was your understanding and not fact from Montgomery County Sheriff's Office or Tom Murray, Sr. Thank you for clearing it up even though I did not take it as fact; just your understanding.

I usually don't post comments from Facebook pages on any of the threads here but there has been some informative info posted on Bring TJ Murray Home Safe regarding the sale of the bracelets at the SHSU campus, the "birthday party" for TJ, the upcoming search this Saturday, 2-4-12, and the organizer(s) seeking volunteers, the billboard on I-45, etc.

I am really impressed with Bring TJ Murray Home Safe Facebook.

Although I do not do Facebook, it is my hope that folks who do Facebook will "join" or follow Bring TJ Murray Home Safe if they see the Link posted on TJ's thread here.

DebbieK, thank you so much for taking the time to post here on TJ's thread. This is an open thread and you and any registered members are welcomed to post info, comments, prayers, and other pertinent info here.

For you, DebbieK (with special prayers for TJ Murray):

Best regards,

Ann - Tx

Thank you Ann, and I LOVE the flowers! My heart and prayers go out to all families missing a loved one. Small children and the elderly especially tug at my heart, for they cannot defend themselves. Nevertheless, everyone missing is someone's child, mother, father, sibling or friend. It's so hard on the families. I'm thankful for sites, such as this, that focus on those that are missing. I know the families surely appreciate the public's concern and prayers.

God Bless You!
Debbie

Debbie, you are welcome.

I understand what you are saying regarding small children and the elderly. I feel defenseless children, the cherished elderly and animals are three segments of society who are the most vulnerable and I advocate for all three.

My heart goes out to the families of the missing. Their pain over a loved one missing is something I hope I never have to experience.

We cover numerous cases here. If you click on Forum (at the top Header), it will take you to the forum where all of the cases are. Justice4All has the cases in sections, i.e., Missing, Unsolved Homicides, Current Trials, Awaiting Trial, Closed Cases, etc.

If you are from the greater Houston area, you might be familiar with the Ali Lowitzer case from Spring, Tx. She's been missing since April, 2010. Here's the link to her thread:

Also, you might be familiar with precious 4-year-old Emma Thompson from Spring, Tx who was brutally raped and beaten by her mother's boyfriend in 2009. She died of her injuries.

Emma captured the heart of many world wide.

The case is now in Closed Cases but I will continue to keep her thread updated due to Appeals and her mother's parole when she is eligible for parole.

Glad you liked the flowers. Click on the yellow smilie icon above your comment box. A separate box will open with numerous emoticons. Click on whatever and when you Send your comment it will appear. For example, I see : sucker : (left spaces so it would not print when I click send) in my comment box now but when I click send:

I'm sorry to say, but SATURDAY'S SEARCH IS BEING CANCELED AND RESCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18 DUE TO WEATHER. I just got off the phone with Mr. Murray and he agrees we need to wait since there is a 70-80 percent chance of thunderstorms. PLEASE do NOT be discouraged, this is a part of God's plan as everything is. Please continue to pray and please be there the 18th!

Does anyone know what color SHORTS TJ was wearing that evening? I know he was wearing a red shirt and I was told white swim trunks? Anyone able to back this up?

The official TXDPS poster states khaki shorts; TES states black & white swim shorts.

If I were Hannah, I would call the MCSO lead investigator on TJ's case and get clarification. If one is searching, it would be helpful to know what the person was assumed to be wearing. Or perhaps Mr. Murray knows what TJ was wearing.

DebbieK, if you see this would you please provide Hannah with the above info? Thanks!

Ann,
I posted on TJ's facebook page to Hannah. I have no idea what color shorts TJ had on when he disappeared. Calling MCSO is probably her best bet. Mr. Murray may know!

Answering your question, Yes, I've heard about Ali missing up here in Spring. She has been missing a good while..so sad.

Also, the case of little Emma breaks my heart. I know a lady that worked at the daycare little Emma went to. She told me that one day, when she was leaving work, she saw a man standing out by the street. She reported this to her Director. Later she learned, that this was the boyfriend of Emma's mother. He was ordered to stay away from this child, but he didn't. When they pulled out of the parking lot, he got in the car. Another time, his little boy came to daycare, with bruises all over him. They called CPS. Bottom line is I think CPS dropped the ball on these children. These children endured a lot before little Emma was murdered. It is just devastating.

DebbieK, thank you for posting the message to Hannah.

Either today or tomorrow I will respond to your comment about Emma on Emma Thompson's thread or perhaps PM you.

I think the lady at the daycare was talking about Emma, Lucas Coe's daughter. He has a daughter named Emma who he was not allowed to be around unless he was supervised by one of two designated people. (per CPS) Also, Coe does not have a son. Maybe the lady was referring to Coe's previous girlfriend's son.

The Missing Texas Forty




With 40 people missing from two adjoining counties, is there something sinister or is it just a coincidence?


March 2, 2012

Written by Jerrie Dean
Researched and edited by Helen Harriman-Oliver

Missing Persons of America


About 10 months ago, I was contacted by Jerry, the brother of missing Larry Baker that disappeared in Liberty County in 2010. Jerry told me about Larry and he also brought up the name of another person, Rodney Stokely that was missing from the same small town in Texas called Cleveland.


Cleveland, Texas has a population under 8,000 people. Two people missing from one small town seemed usual to me, and you would think that the odds would have it that the police would have found at least one of these men.

Snipped:





36. 10-19-2011: Thomas “TJ” Murray, Jr., w/m, 24 y/o. The Woodlands, Montgomery County, TX

TJ, who was a 24-years-old and a student at Sam Houston University in Huntsville also umpires Little League in the Woodlands. On October 18, 2011, after he finished umpiring a game, he met with some friends at The Rocks Sports Bar located at 592 Sawdust Road. They were to meet an Army buddy on leave there but the friend was delayed. They then shot some pool and at midnight TJ called his father and told him he was leaving his father’s truck at On The Rocks and was riding with friends to Rookies at 305 Sawdust Road just a short distance away.
At 12:30 a.m. he talked to his father again and said he was at Rookies and had been separated from his friends, but would return his father’s truck to him the next morning at Oak Ridge High School, where his father is a a teacher and a coach.
On October 19, his cell phone was found in a nearby ditch and the truck in the parking lot of the first club. TJ has not been heard from since. His father said it is not like him not to call him or any of his friends.

sitemama, thank you for bumping the candles. I went and lit two candles for TJ. You are always so great about reminding us.

Thanks for your support of TJ. I am sure his family appreciates it.

Don't forget to light the candles tonight.
