Summary based on 4 sources
David Clayton Kipp was 22 years old when he was last seen in Fort Worth, Texas, on March 4, 1986. He has not been heard from since his disappearance. His case is classified as a missing person, and few details are publicly available regarding the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. Kipp is a White male with blond hair and blue eyes. At the time he went missing, he was described as being 5'11" and weighing approximately 160 pounds.

Information regarding the specifics of what Kipp was doing or who he was with on the day he vanished is not widely available in public records. His case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System on September 22, 2020, many years after he was last seen. The lack of available information has been a point of discussion on online forums dedicated to cold cases.

Records indicate that a divorce was filed in Tarrant County, Texas, on September 9, 1986, six months after Kipp's disappearance, dissolving a marriage between a David C. Kipp and an Eileen. It has also been noted that a deed in the names of David and Eileen Kipp for a property in Tarrant County was dated in November 1985, approximately four months before he went missing. The Fort Worth Police Department is the investigating agency for his case.
