Clarence W. Eaton, 72, vanished from his home in the Harmon area off Crawford Road near Everton, Arkansas on the morning of January 1, 2015. His wife returned later that day to find the house empty and a note suggesting he intended to harm himself; law enforcement treated him as potentially suicidal when he went missing.

Clarence is described as a white male with graying brown hair, blue eyes, a mustache and eyeglasses. He was believed to be wearing brown Carhartt pants or bibs, a black or dark blue jacket, Red Wing boots and a baseball cap from an unknown feed store. His pickup truck was located abandoned near a creek on his property, about three-quarters of a mile from the residence, but there were no signs of him.

Searches by the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, Boone County Sheriff’s Department and Yellville Police Department used helicopters, drones, search dogs and divers to comb creeks, ponds and dense terrain that straddles the Marion and Boone County line, but produced no further leads. The case is classified as an endangered missing person investigation and remains open.

If anyone saw Clarence on January 1, 2015 or has information about his movements that day, please come forward.
