Cline believes that Tom drove his car to the high schools football stadium as that is where most of the students hang out, and some boys were hanging out around the stadium and were messing around with a gun and tried to scare Tom. And somehow he accidentally pulled the trigger and shot Tom in the back of the head. Cline thinks that this was all an accident. Then the boys called a parent (most likely the boy who killed Tom’s dad) and they decided to get into touch with sheriff Lewis and asked him to help them over up the death. Lewis agrees and tells them where to dumb the evidence and the body of Tom. This is all a Theory that Cline thinks most likely happened to Tom.

Cline also thinks that Penny (Tom’s Mom) is holding back information of what happened to Tom. He says that she doesn’t show any emotion at all and she is acting super suspicious.

I personally believe sheriff Lewis has something to do with Tom’s death. He is always thinking the exact opposite of what everyone else thinks and he clearly disagreed to take the polygraph test because he said that they don’t tell the truth and they don’t work. This seems odd because if he didn’t have anything to do with Tom’s disappearance then he would have taken the test. He also resigned in November or 2019 so that is also suspicious to me.

Tucker (Tom’s brother) did not agree to take a polygraph test, he says they are untrue and he didn’t want to fall into their trap. He is at OSU and didn’t want to fail the test and be questioned. They think that maybe he could have planted Tom’s phone. Lewis also did not want to be apart of this because he was already unliked by many in the case.

Tom’s mom, Penny, was upset to hear about the adult diapers. She also says at one point that suicide could be a possibility. Penny hires a private investigator name Phil Cline and requests that Officer Lewis is taken off of the case. Later on farther into the case Penny is accused of knowing more than she is sharing about the case, they believe she knows what happened to Toms Body. Tom’s mom says she has no clue what happened to Tom’s body. She doesn’t understand why people are blaming her. Penny also says that if Tom came to her and told her he was gay she would have a hard time and would talk to him about sin.
