Kristopher David Clarke, known as K.C., was 29 when he was last known to have contact on February 22, 2012, in New Town, North Dakota. A Washington native working in the Bakken, he was last seen at Blackstone Trucking in New Town. His white 2007 Chevrolet C/K 3500 pickup (plate AC63117) was recovered months later in Williston, but Kristopher himself was not found.

Kristopher was described as a White male, brown hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 11 inches and 135 to 155 pounds.

Investigators later tied his disappearance to a federal murder-for-hire scheme operating in the North Dakota oil patch. A jury found James Henrikson guilty in a case that included the killings of Kristopher Clarke and Doug Carlile; Timothy Suckow had pleaded guilty in the separate Carlile killing and implicated Kristopher’s death. Despite convictions, Kristopher’s remains have not been recovered. If anyone knew Kristopher, his movements in North Dakota, or saw his pickup, please come forward with information.
