Carl Pope, 49, was last seen by family in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, on September 27, 2021. Relatives say he sometimes went long periods without contact, but this absence worried them enough to notify police when days became weeks.

At the time he disappeared he was described as a white male about 5 feet 11 inches tall, 170 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes and tattoos on his shoulder, chest and right hand. Family members reported a belief he might have been headed to a local casino around the time he went missing. He was a father of two who worked in construction.

The Pine Bluff Police Department opened an investigation and asked the public to call the detective division with any leads. Very few details about the circumstances of his disappearance have been released. If anyone knew Carl’s habits, recent plans, or saw him around September 27, 2021, please contact the Pine Bluff Police Detective Division with any information.
