Christopher Hooks, 42, was last seen January 22, 2017, after dropping his wife at their home on North Taylor Carter Road in Crossett and later being seen alone at a Dollar General in Hampton, about 40 miles away. When he failed to return, his wife checked their family camp and found it locked with their dog missing; he was reported to police on February 1, 2017.

On February 19, 2017, Hooks’s 2002 Toyota pickup was found locked in woods near the family camp in Harrell. The truck contained his cell phone, wallet, ID and medication; the vehicle had fictitious tags. Searches of the surrounding area turned up no further clues. Initial confusion over jurisdiction between Ashley and Calhoun counties complicated the early investigation; the Ashley County Sheriff’s Office has been the lead agency with Arkansas State Police assisting.

Christopher is described as a white male with brown hair and brown eyes and has a tattoo of a cross and his last name Hooks on his back. Does anyone with information about his movements on January 22, 2017, or who saw that pickup in the Harrell area, please come forward?
