William Scott Crain, 22, of Bowling Green, Kentucky, disappeared after a night out on November 21, 1994. Friends say they dropped him off near Riverview Drive and Louisville Road, by the Barren River, and he was never seen again. He may have gone by his middle name Scott.
At the time he vanished he was described as a white male, 6 feet 0 inches to 6 feet 2 inches, 120 to 135 pounds, shoulder-length sandy brown hair, brown eyes, and a slight mustache. He wore a green checkered flannel shirt, a black rock band t-shirt, white shorts, black Nike shoes, and a black baseball cap with white lettering. Distinctive tattoos included a pentagram, peace sign and skull on his upper right arm and a spiderweb with a tiny spider and a skull with a top hat on his upper left arm.
Crain left behind an infant daughter; he and the child’s mother had been separated but reportedly planning to reconcile. The Bowling Green Police Department questioned the men he was last seen with, who have been treated as persons of interest, but insufficient evidence has prevented charges. His case is officially classified as an endangered missing person and is believed by authorities and family to have involved homicide. Any information from that night near the Barren River could help — did anyone see William Crain in that area on November 21, 1994?
