The family of a Powell man missing for nearly a week continue their frantic search and are joining law enforcement in asking for the public’s help.
Clint White, 52, was last seen on surveillance camera leaving his Powell home around 2 a.m. on March 26. The video shows him holding a black and white checkered blanket and a red generator as he exits through a door.
His sister, Charise Rose, said that her family is very concerned about her brother at this point. He’s not an avid outdoorsman and such behavior is very uncharacteristic of him, she said, as is leaving without contacting his family.
“We are concerned about his safety,” Rose told Cowboy State Daily in a message early Tuesday morning.
Right now, Rose said that the family and volunteers from local faith communities have been searching a 30-mile radius outside of city limits looking for the dark gray 2018 Toyota Tacoma with County 11 Wyoming license plates that White is believed to have been driving.
It’s been tough, Rose admitted, as the search for White hits the one-week mark.
“At this point we are just trying to have as many people looking out for him as possible,” she said. “The police are trying to narrow down his location and it may come down to a grid search. As of right now that is a 30-mile radius, so that makes it pretty difficult.”
The police are having trouble narrowing down a search area at this point, Rose said.
Two likely areas that the searchers are pinpointing is the Badger Basin area as well as McCullough Peaks, Rose said, and she asks for anyone with access to drones to do aerial searches of those areas.
“Right now, we are just asking people in the county to look out for him,” she said. “We are going to try to set up a more coordinated search soon.”
Powell Police Chief Jim Rhea told Cowboy State Daily in an earlier interview that White has turned off location services on his devices and has not yet used his bank accounts that his family is closely monitoring.
White is described as 6 feet, 2 inches tall and about 220 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black hoodie sweatshirt, tan khaki pants and a blue baseball cap.
