Adam Clint Baird, who was last seen March 31, 2019 in LaFollette, Tennessee, has been identified after human remains found in Campbell County were confirmed to be his. Officials say remains discovered by a hunter on Oct. 24, 2026 in a rural part of the county were identified by investigators using DNA and the ID was announced on Nov. 10, 2026. Authorities have not released a cause or manner of death and say the investigation is ongoing. I hope his family finally gets answers and justice and that they didnt have to wait this long.

Adam Clint Baird, 33, of LaFollette in Campbell County, Tennessee, was last seen on March 31, 2019. In the days before he disappeared his family said his behavior was erratic; he reportedly struggled with personal issues and wanted to reconcile with his wife and regain custody of his children. The last time family members saw him he left in his mother’s car with a packed bag and an unknown destination.

A key clue came when that vehicle was found abandoned on Big Four Road in the remote Stinking Creek community, an area of dense woods and old logging roads that Baird knew well. Beginning April 3, 2019, the Campbell County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue Team, K-9 units, the La Follette Rescue Squad and aviation units from the Knox County Sheriff’s Office conducted large-scale searches, including K-9s, a helicopter and foot teams, but they turned up no sign of Adam.

His family continues to seek answers; his sister described him as a wonderful person and a great father to his three children, and the family has offered a reward for information that leads to the recovery of his remains. Does anyone have information about Adam’s movements around March 31, 2019, or recall seeing a vehicle matching his mother’s car in the Stinking Creek area?
