Teen missing

OKAY Wagoner County authorities intensified their search Monday for a Broken Arrow teenager after they found one of his tennis shoes caught in a fence in the Wahoo Bay area of Fort Gibson Lake.
Investigators said rescue workers used a canine team to scour the area in the search for Jarret Clark, 18, as aircraft spotters searched for clues. Boats combed the shoreline of the park.
Friends and family members suspect Clark is the victim of foul play. Authorities, however, arent prepared to go that far.
I am not ready to say that its (the case) suspicious at this point, said Wagoner County Sheriffs Investigator Bob Haley. Were just trying to locate him right now.
Clarks maternal grandfather, Eugene Smithson of Keefeton, said his grandson and four or five of his friends were celebrating in the Wahoo Bay area after graduating last Thursday from Broken Arrow High School. Smithson said he was told a fight broke out among the classmates, and Clark never returned home.
Tammy Slater, the teens mother, said Clark called home at about 8:45 p.m. Saturday to let her know he was going camping with some friends.
Jarret said he would be home at 10 (a.m.) the next morning for Mothers Day, Slater said. When he didnt show up by that afternoon, we contacted authorities and started looking for him.
He called his former girlfriend, Lindsey Allen, at about 1 a.m. Sunday and asked her to come to the lake. Allen said she learned Sunday afternoon that one of Clarks classmates had been bragging to others Sunday that he had beaten up Clark and left him at the lake.
He (the classmate) said they left him face down in the dirt, Allen said.
