A missing person report for John William Arrington was filed on June 30, 2020.
An investigation into his disappearance revealed that the last known contact with Arrington was on Friday, September 14, 2018, at his father’s house on County Road 470.
Law enforcement have spoken with everyone who would have possibly had contact with Arrington at that time and decided to search for him at his last known location.
In order to complete the search of the property, it was arranged for the GTR K9 Search Team to come and assist with the search.
“We wanted to search the property in case he didn’t wander out and had done something to himself,” explained Chief Deputy Barry White. “We had four dogs that are certified as cadaver dogs that came across the state to help. Eddie Ivy helped arrange the dogs to be here and helped coordinate the search. The EMA office is a great asset to this county, and that was proven again with this search.”
The GTR K9 Search Team assisted the Clarke County Sheriff’s Department; Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks; and Clarke County EMA in searching for John Arrington on July 13, 2020. They were unable to locate Arrington during the search.
At this time, authorities have exhausted all leads and have eliminated all the locations they know that Arrington could have gone.
Anyone who has had contact with John Arrington or may know where he is located, please contact the Clarke County Sheriff’s Department at 601-776-5252 or East Mississippi Crime Stoppers at 1-855-485-8477.
