[Dalagali]

They asked for the public's help Thursday in finding Stephen Michael Cole, who goes by the nickname "Lurch." Cole's last known whereabouts was at a Clarksville house with friends around 11:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 18. Police say he left personal property at the house, but has not been heard from or seen since.

Cole is nearly six feet tall and 195 pounds. Police asked that anyone who spots him call 911 so officers can check on his welfare. Anyone with information can call Clarksville Police Department Detective Channing Bartel at 931-648-0656, extension 5144, or the "TIPSLINE" at 931-645-8477.

His NamUs page has been removed. I can't find any news about his body having been found, though.

Monday, September 19, 2022

A federal jury convicted six Clarksville, Tennessee, men on Friday for racketeering conspiracy and other charges involving murder, kidnapping, drug trafficking, and other crimes, all stemming from their involvement with the Clarksville chapter of the Mongols Motorcycle Club (Clarksville Mongols).
A seventh man, from Kentucky, who was not a member of the Mongols, was also convicted by the same jury of participating in a drug trafficking conspiracy with the Clarksville Mongols.

[...]

Then, in November 2017, Stephen Cole was kidnapped, brutally beaten, and murdered by the Clarksville Mongols. Cole, who had been a member of the Clarksville Mongols, was believed to have stolen motorcycles belonging to defendant, and fellow gang member, William Boylston. Boylston felt disrespected by Cole and was concerned about maintaining his standing and reputation among the Clarksville Mongols. Cole was kidnapped from a house in Clarksville, Tennessee, and transported by defendants Boylston and Meyerholz to a shed in Trenton, Kentucky, where they interrogated, tortured, and beat him for hours, and then murdered Cole by driving a 10-inch tent stake through his head.

[...]

As a result of this seven-year investigation, 21 Clarksville Mongols members and associates were charged with federal offenses. In addition to the seven defendants convicted Friday, 13 previously pleaded guilty and two, including Stephen Cole, are deceased.
