Circumstances of Disappearance:

Callens was at his girlfriend's home on Mathis Road before walking to the convenience store, and the two reportedly got into an argument, which led to his walk to the store that morning. At 5:40 a.m. on January 7, 2025, Thomas "Duncan" Callens was captured on surveillance video at the Old Bull Market located at 3107 Hwy 72 West, across from the Morris Crum Tire Center in Corinth, Mississippi. At the time, Callens was not properly dressed to keep warm in the weather conditions Corinth was experiencing that morning. The store clerk gave Callens a jacket and a t-shirt, and also charged Callens' phone for about ten minutes before he left.
