Thomas Hale Boggs, Sr. (born February 15, 1914; presumed to have died on October 16, 1972 but not declared dead until January 3, 1973) is an American Democratic politician and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from New Orleans, Louisiana.
He is the House majority leader and a member of the Warren Commission.
In 1972, while he is still Majority Leader, the twin engine airplane in which Boggs is traveling disappears over a remote section of Alaska.
The airplane presumably crashes and is never found.
Congressman Nick Begich is also presumed killed in the same accident.
