Spencer Lee Clark, 34, of Perry County, Arkansas, has been missing since late December 2022. Reports differ on his last confirmed sighting: one account places him in Perryville on December 21, 2022; another says he was seen December 30 after checking into a hotel in Morrilton where he left his wallet, cell phone, and other personal items. Some reports say he checked into the Morrilton hotel on December 21 and checked out several days later, leaving his phone behind.

Investigators recovered neatly piled clothing near his mother’s home in the Cherry Hill area and a red moped. Spencer had a distinctive large bear paw tattoo on his chest and was known to walk long distances, which prompted appeals for anyone who might have seen him on foot in Perry County — on highways, in wooded areas, or near overpasses. He is a father; his son and daughter had not yet met him.

The Perry County Sheriff’s Office is handling the investigation with assistance from the Arkansas Attorney General’s Cold Case Unit. Few definitive answers are available and the case remains open. If anyone saw Spencer or knows anything about his movements in late December 2022, please come forward.
