Claude Vernon Rains II, known as C.V., was 42 when he disappeared from his Wynne, Arkansas home. He was last seen on January 17, 1986, leaving with another individual in a vehicle; family and friends have not heard from him since. He was described as a white male with black, partially balding hair, brown eyes, a brown birthmark on his back and a scar from his right knee to his ankle. He was believed to be wearing blue jeans, a shirt and cowboy boots and carrying a billfold.

The vehicle he left in was later found abandoned at the airport in Little Rock. The person he was with at the time is considered a suspect, and the Wynne Police Department and the Cross County Sheriff’s Office have kept the case active; it is officially classified as Endangered Missing. Few concrete leads exist and the abandoned car at the Little Rock airport remains a central unanswered detail.

If anyone knew Claude, the person he left with, or has information about the car being at the Little Rock airport, please share what is known.
