Tom Riddle was killed, along with his parents, sometime in the early 40s, as
we learn in GoF, Chapter 1. They seem to have been victims of Avada Kedrava,
The Killing Curse.  Just how Voldy engineered this is yet to be explained.

Tom riddle *Snr* was killed, Tom Riddle Jnr dissappeared, later to become 
Voldemort.
As to Simons's questoin as to why ppl didn't look for him - maybe he had 
never made the kind of friends at school who would look out for him (or they 
knew where he was going). He certainly didn't have any family. Once he had 
turned down the (inevitable) position at the MoM they probably didn;t care 
either
