William Bill Edward Garside, 51, was last seen on May 14, 2015, in Stringtown, Oklahoma after leaving his home following an argument with his wife. He is White and American Indian, an enrolled member of the Chickasaw Nation, about 6 feet 1 inch to 6 feet 2 inches tall and roughly 240 pounds, with short or shaved brown hair, brown eyes, and sometimes a mustache or small goatee. He wears reading glasses and has distinctive tattoos including Sharlee on the left side of his neck, a rooster with a sunset on his chest, full sleeve tattoos on both arms, and a Tasmanian Devil with guns on his left calf.
At the time he disappeared he was dressed in blue jeans, a t-shirt or tank top, a ball cap and brown work boots, wore a watch on his right wrist, and carried a camouflage-patterned velcro wallet that held his driver’s license, tribal cards, casino cards, a VersaTel ATM card and cash. He left driving a 2006 maroon Lincoln Mark-LT pickup with Oklahoma plate 826JVH; the truck has since been recovered but its location and condition have not been publicly disclosed. The Atoka County Sheriff’s Office is investigating and the family has had no contact with him since May 14, 2015.
If anyone in Stringtown or the surrounding area remembers seeing Bill, his maroon Lincoln Mark-LT, or has other information that could help locate him, please contact the Atoka County Sheriff’s Office.
