His fretting parents say the teenage Roblox fan may have met someone online who convinced him to travel to Manhattan and became “invisible” by wiping his phone.
Police on Wednesday distanced themselves from pursuing a Roblox grooming situation while revealing security camera footage saw Thomas last walking on the pedestrian pathway of the Manhattan Bridge.
An eerie splash in the East River was captured a few minutes later.
Crucially, they continued, the teenager wasn’t pictured leaving the area.
