Help us find John Thrasher

08/15/2025

21 years ago on this day, John Matthew Thrasher was seen for the last time.

Today, I would like to honor him by asking those responsible to please give the location of his body so his family can at least have that peace.

If you have information, please consider what you would want if he were your loved one.

On August 14th, 2004, he told his dad he would be right back as he walked out the door and got into a vehicle with individuals only named as Rhonda and Tommy. John never made it home.

It is presumed that John was killed that night, and at one point, a confession was made; however, no arrests were ever made, and his family has been left to suffer the loss without even being able to lay him to rest all of these years.

Please refrain from contacting his loved ones with rumors or other hurtful messages.

If anyone has any credible information as to the location of John Matthew Thrasher's body, please do the right thing and call The Overton County Sheriff's Department at (931) 823-5635.

21 YEARS! John has now been missing as long as he was alive, 21 YEARS! If you knew John, you loved him, he never met a stranger & was the friendliest kid you will ever meet! He was robbed of the life he could have had, a wife, kids, a career. For what, what was worth taking his life? TOMMY P & RHONDA M what has your life been like for the last 21 years? Do you think back to August 14, 2004 when you took John’s life? Did he beg for his life or did you blindside him? He loved you two, he thought you guys were friends! How do you live with yourself? Do you have a conscience at all? Please just give us his body! We don’t care if the DA gives you immunity, please just give our family some peace & let us have John’s body. If you are part of Tommy & Rhonda’s friends & family please encourage them to do the right thing.
Tommy & Rhonda please do the right thing, walk yourself into the police station & tell them truthfully where John’s body is. It’s really as simple as that!
Someday you both WILL answer to GOD for what you have done!
If anyone has any information regarding the location of John’s body, please contact us or the police department.

20 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!20 Years ago today my brother walked out the door, telling my dad he would be right back, got into the car with Rhonda & Tommy & was never seen again. They killed him that night & buried his body. For 20 years they been able to live their miserable lives as if nothing happened. For 20 years my family has desperately begged for justice. Earlier this year, while in jail for violation of probation, Rhonda confessed. However, here we are 6 months later, no charges have been filed & she’s free as a bird (they both are). We just want John’s body, we want to give him the proper burial he deserves. It’s not a question of “who did it”, we have always known that, but where is John’s body. If anyone has credible information about the location of John’s body, please contact us or Gary Ledbetter at the Overton Co police department. If you are keeping a secret for someone or covering up their crime, please put yourself in our shoes, how would you feel if someone killed your loved one. Please don’t text, call, or send us messages about rumors or gossip. We ask everyone to please pray for our family, pray that my aging mom can bury her son, pray for justice. We know God is in control & someday they will answer for what they did. We love you John & miss you so much! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Happy Birthday John! Although you are not here with us, we will never forget you & your special day! You were our Thanksgiving baby and unlike most people, you loved your birthday being on a holiday, food, cake, gifts & family - what else could a kid ask for! Just the other day, my son told me he wished he could have met you, that you guys would have so much in common! 🥲To the people who took John’s life & those who helped cover it up, I hope as you gather together with your families for the holidays you realize the sadness, grief & just plain torture you have caused our family. Please look at each other in the face & ask yourself how you would feel. Please give us his body, please allow us to have closure. We love you John, we will never forget you & we will never stop looking for you! ❤️❤️

My mom, sisters & I all have these picture frames with our favorite pictures of John. I look at it every single day and remember the little brother I grew up with; smart as a tack & would talk your head off about all his useless knowledge, loved animals, loved watching Gun Smoke with my dad, loved playing basketball, but most of all he loved his family! My dad passed away six months after John went missing, he had a heart attack but he really died of a broken heart! My mom has went to bed for 7,335 nights not knowing where her son’s body is. Can you imagine that? Can you imagine the pain & heartache she feels? Please, if you know where John’s body is I beg you to please tell us, how do you live with that knowledge? We love you John & we will never stop looking for you!
