Arile Wayne Shatswell, 36, disappeared from Oklahoma City in the summer of 1976. The last recorded contact is June 1, 1976, but the specifics of his last known whereabouts and activities are not documented. He is described as biracial White and Native American, affiliated with the Cherokee Nation, with brown hair and brown eyes, standing 5 feet 10 inches and about 175 pounds.

Very little is known about what he was wearing, his state of mind, or who he might have been with when he vanished. The Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office manages the investigation, and his record was later entered into national missing-person databases, including NamUs under MP62271. There is no publicly stated evidence of foul play or that he left voluntarily, and the lack of contemporaneous detail has left the case cold.

If anyone knew Arile Shatswell, his movements in Oklahoma City in 1976, or has information that might help, please share what is known.
