The discovery of his car might not be a huge achievement after all these years, but the authorities did try their best to find anything related to the case. They drained lakes, looked everywhere for the young man but all were in vain.
Unfortunately, Clinkscales’ parents could not witness the discovery as his mother passed away in January this year. His father died in 2007. We have no information regarding his living relatives for now.
More information is yet to come regarding this case. But the recent finding has opened up new hope in this case.
We hope to update more information as soon as possible.
