A birth date would also help. Several were born in Calif in 1972, both Robert and Thomas just not together.

Tom R Smith he goes by tom Tom and last I hard was his parents live were up in Washington st i don’t understand why u guys don’t pull his birth certificate and find out who the parents are and go that way and locate them come on sheriff department you guys were trained very well and get your shit together and do the investigation. It’s your funny you can find out anything about anybody else but for some reason you’re having a hard time finding out who an inmate next of kin is hmmm….

RIP Tom Tom. You are gonna be missed by us all. You were a friend and brother to everyone. And also you were one of only few who kept it real and never lost track of who you really were. Love you my friend .. Now go be free and fly with the angels !
