Clinton Thompson, 41, was last seen around December 1, 2011, in Franklin County, Texas; the exact date is uncertain because he was not reported missing until 45 days later. Shortly before he vanished he was involved in a violent altercation that left him with head injuries and possibly a broken arm. On the day he disappeared he was seen walking from his home on County Road 1350 toward County Road 1200, stopping briefly at a residence near County Road 1250, and later observed on FM 1896 at the edge of Franklin County.

The case took an unusual turn on February 10, 2012, when Thompson’s wallet was mailed back to his home in an envelope with no return address. Authorities have not been able to determine who sent the wallet or where it was found. Despite searches and investigations there have been no further clues, and the disappearance is considered suspicious because of the preceding violence. Anyone with information about Clinton Thompson’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Titus County Sheriff’s Office.
