AR AR - Clayton Reed, 32, Army Veteran, Hot Spring, last seen in Malvern, 18 Jan 2024

[imstilla.grandma]

Reed served in the Army, loved outdoor activities and most of all loved his family. Heather Reed, Clayton’s wife, said that they’re looking for answers and closure.

“We would like an answer we would like anything, a shred, a clue, a tip, anything,” Reed said.

“What’s happening, are they hungry, are they hurt,” Reed said.

Heather Reed said Clayton left without a trace, with him last being seen at the Pearsons Landing RV Park in Malvern.

“For him to not come back, it means something is keeping him from, whether it be something wrong in his mind or he had an accident out there somewhere,” Heather Reed said

This one has me really concerned. His FB page - the header is disturbing, NOT because of the image of the gun (I have several firearms and do sport, such as skeet, shooting) but further down the full image and the message makes me concerned for his emotional well being. I don't know if he suffers from PTSD as do too many veterans but it's always something to be considered.

As to legal records:

Outside of some minor speeding/vehicular type misdemeanors in his very young days, the thing the only thing of note on record is as follows. From Arkansas Judiciary: Case Search • Arkansas Judiciary

There could be another Clayton Daniel Reed of that same age (middle name here: Family seeks help to find U.S. Army veteran missing from Hot Spring County
But court records in Arkansas show an order of protection from a woman a Clayton Daniel Reed, Date of Birth 9-21-92, shared 2 boys with (they weren't married) due to alleged domestic violence several years ago (Case # 31DR-18-60). There was a later case in 2021 where Clayton Daniel Reed was Plaintiff in a case involving said paternity and charges of the children's mothers alleged ability to care for the children. (Case # 31DR-21-7 and is still OPEN)
The boy, listed with dob's in the court documents, would be about the same age as his sons pictured on his FB page post of 2019 but again, can't be 100% certain it's the same man without a full DOB for the missing Clayton).

The missing poster from the Revamp missing persons site with Sheriff's info (link here) said he had no shoes or socks on, and it's winter. Log into Facebook

Praying for his safety and for closure for his loved ones.

Looking at the first post on his FB from his wife and then reading the comments it's VERY concerning. Are we allowed to copy/paste the information from his FB or just reference it?

She details his final days, speaks about the court case and what has occurred in Dec with his kids mother and court, and also talks about him not eating for days before he left and what he was saying/doing. Very bizarre behavior.

I don't read the comments before I do a legal record search to make sure I stay focused on facts, but that does help clarify we're talking about the same person. I was 99% certain of it, but without a full date of birth to match the court record DOB, I can't say it's 100% the same person. Thanks so much!

Thank you. We still have no new information and there has been no contact at all. I suspect he succumbed to the weather.
