Billy Ray Silvers, 70, vanished from his Russellville, Arkansas home in the winter of 2009. The last confirmed contact was a phone call with his sister on December 30, 2009; she reported him missing on March 3, 2010 after more than two months without word. His stepson, Kenny Hamm, told investigators he drove Silvers to Malvern, Arkansas sometime in December and that was the last time he saw him.

Reports say Silvers was battling cancer at the time and that the stepson suggested Silvers might have been involved in illicit activities and possibly did not want to be located. He is described as 6 feet 3 inches, about 215 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes, LOVE tattooed across the fingers of his left hand, a knife tattoo on his left leg, and another tattoo on an arm. The Pope County Sheriff’s Office is the primary agency handling the investigation.

There are conflicting timelines about Silvers’s last movements and no public resolution of what happened to him. If anyone knew Billy Silvers, his associates, or saw him in late December 2009 in Russellville or Malvern, please share what information might help locate him.
