John Kemp Clark was 29 and living in Fayetteville, Arkansas, when he was last seen on September 6, 1993. Weeks passed before his family reported him missing in October after they were unable to contact him. He had left behind his work tools and his last paycheck, possessions not normally abandoned by someone who left voluntarily.

Around the time he disappeared, Clark’s truck was found in Crawford County, south of Devil’s Den, completely destroyed by a fire investigators concluded had been set intentionally. His family said he took pride in that vehicle, which had recently been painted and fitted with a new camper shell, and they did not believe he would have destroyed it himself. Foul play was suspected early in the investigation.

Reports later linked Clark to the Outlaws motorcycle gang and to acquaintances who used drugs and alcohol, information his family said raised concerns those connections could be relevant to his disappearance. No confirmed sighting of John has been reported since September 6, 1993.

If anyone in northwest Arkansas remembers John, his truck, or anything from that late summer of 1993, please come forward with information.
