Justin Dwayne Baker, 41, of Muldrow, Oklahoma, was last seen in the early hours of January 24, 2025, after leaving a Fort Smith, Arkansas, bar with two acquaintances. The trio drove to Muldrow Bottoms, an off‑roading area, and their vehicle went into the Arkansas River. The two other occupants escaped and reached shore; Justin did not surface and has not been seen since.

Search and rescue efforts involved the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and its marine division, search dogs, the Fort Smith and Arkoma Fire Departments, Cherokee Nation Marshals, volunteer divers, and sonar teams. The submerged vehicle was recovered from the river, but there was no trace of Justin. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is assisting and describes the disappearance as suspicious. Family members, including his mother Kelly Cox, and advocacy groups have urged further attention and requested the case be referred to the FBI because Justin was last seen in Arkansas prior to the incident in Oklahoma.
