Vernal Robert Ness, known as Bob, was 41 when he left his Oak Grove, Arkansas home on or about January 15, 2001, following a separation from his wife. He stopped all contact after leaving and was described as a white male with brown hair, blue eyes, 6 feet 2 inches tall and about 250 pounds.

The Carroll County Sheriff’s Office investigated but reported few leads. His vehicle was later found abandoned in Rogersville, Missouri and impounded; authorities say the car examination produced no clear clues. The disappearance is classified as an endangered missing person case and is listed in NamUs under MP10515.

No confirmed sightings, communications, or financial activity have been reported since his departure. Does anyone have memories, tips, or information about Bob’s movements in January 2001 or about the vehicle being found in Rogersville?
