Dakota Blaine Clifford, 22, went missing from Bryan, Ohio on the morning of March 13, 2022. He left his residence carrying only his cell phone and left his wallet and identification behind. He was last seen wearing black sweatpants, a black jacket, black tennis shoes and a blue knitted beanie.

Dakota is described as a white male, brown hair and brown eyes, 5 feet 4 inches tall, about 165 pounds, with a full beard and a small scar near his right eye. His family reported him missing the same day when they could not reach him. He had recently separated from the U.S. Army, and both the Bryan Police Department and the Fort Huachuca Criminal Investigation Division are listed as investigating agencies.

In April 2022 roughly 50 volunteers gathered at the Williams County East Annex Building to conduct a search that turned up no trace of him; his family noted law enforcement did not appear to participate in that volunteer-led search. With few leads and no significant developments, the case has grown cold but remains open. If anyone knew Dakota, saw him around March 13, 2022, or has information that could help, please come forward.
