Authorities in Delaware County, Pa. were looking for the father of a Clifton Heights toddler who was killed in a fire in late March.
Thomas Pierce, 32, is wanted on a myriad of charges, topped by involuntary manslaughter, according to Delaware County DA Mike Green.
Pierce gave authorities a relative’s address in Havertown after the March 20th fire, but:
"In recent days, he’s not to be found. We’re urging anyone in the public who knows anything about the whereabouts of Thomas Pierce to please immediately contact the Clifton Heights police department."
Pierce’s 14-month-old son, Robert, died from smoke inhalation after dad and two older children escaped the flames that gutted their home on West Berkley Avenue. Mom wasn’t home at the time.
Blood tests showed Thomas had marijuana, morphine and prescription drugs in his system at the time of the fire.
