Clinton Nelson, age 21, was last seen on Friday, September 1, 2006, at approx 8:30pm, leaving a friend’s house in the vicinity of Ward Lane and Hwy 80 in Princeton, LA. He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt, blue jeans, black knit cap, and white tennis shoes. The family is offering a $12,500 reward for information leading to Clinton’s whereabouts and information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible.

Person of Interest Larry Gillespie

Larry has told varying stories about when and how Clinton left his house.  He is considered to be theprimary suspect. He has refused a lie detector and my understanding is that he got a lawyer almost immediately after he was arrested on drug charges related to the night Clinton disappeared.


11/03/220 - There's an update on the story of a missing man out of Bossier Parish. The family of 21-year old Clinton Nelson is offering a $12,500reward for information on where he is or who is responsible for his disappearance. Nelson was last seen September first leaving a home in the 800 block of Ward Lane near Haughton. KTBS 3 News has also learned that members of the Texas Equusearch team will be in Bossier Parish to help look for Nelson. The mounted search and recovery team needs local volunteers to help with the search.

Clinton's Mom has joined BFN. I told her I would get CLinton's name in here too.

Nut, I saw you request regarding a colored flag.  This looks like a new post to me and I don't know why it isn't coming up as a pink flag.  I am responding to your post here to see if it becomes highlighted.

THANKS!! IT WORKED!!  :lol:

Missing adults...good site
http://www.theyaremissed.org/ncma/gallery/ncmalistview.php?wstr=Adult&alpha=A

IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT GRETA will be running this story TONIGHT!!!! His Mom is a member at BFN.

Nut44X4,

Clinton's name was familiar and when you mentioned that his mom was on Dana's show, I knew that's where I heard the story.  I found the notice on the FP...it wasn't very long ago:

http://www.scaredmonkeys.com/?s=clinton+nelson

Caroline...have you heard anymore from Greta on when she may broadcast Clinton???

Nut44x4
Sorry I just got registered for this site....I have followed up a number of times with Greta and her team.  The beginning of August I emailed her directly as to why they told me they would run the story and still have not.  Her response was that "there are too many of these cases and she does not know what to tell me".  I think this was her way of saying they are not going to run anything on his case.  I was not given any other reasons as to why they said they would in the first place.

It is very frustrating.

Carolyn

Hi Carolyn!!!

Welcome to Scared Monkeys!!! I am so sorry to hear that Greta failed to honor on a promise to air Clinton's story on Fox. If I remember correctly they were scheduled to air your son's story but canceled it due to Lindsey Lohan's arrest  :smt093? Is that true??? Quite disturbing if it is!!!! Is there anything you would like me to put on this thread for you?? Any Pictures,Articles or Important Information??

Carolyn- Welcome!  Great to have you posting here at Scared Monkeys!

Carolyn,

(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a360/AnnaBlueSkies/Greetings/Prayer%20Thanks%20Compliment/thwelcomebirds-1.jpg)


Many of us have pretty well written Greta off.  She was going to go through the diary Beth Twitty kept in Aruba and never got around to that either.  Same for several items she indicated she would feature in the Natalee Holloway disappearance.  Then nothing.

I can well understand your frustration.  I am just not one to appreciate the pop tarts and the obsession with movie stars or whatever they are.

Perhaps other venues will come along to tell about your missing loved one, your son Clinton.  I will try to learn more about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.

Welcome to Scared Monkeys.

Anna

Carolyn - I am so sorry for what you're going through. Hope SM can be of some help.

Did TES search? If so, I assume there wasn't a result ...

Carolyn, welcome to Scared Monkeys.  Thank you for joining us.  I've read your thread concerning Clinton at BFN.  I hope we are able to help you somehow. 

I will pray for you and your son.  I know you will be reunited someday.  Wherever Clinton is, God knows.  He always takes care of his sheep.  "I know my sheep and my sheep know Me".

*******,
Thank you for your assistance.  I do believe this was one of the stories that was run instead of information on Clinton's disappearance.  To be fair, I also think there was some information about a missing female also.  The frustrating part is that males will usually get bumped for females.  Female victims are more newsworthy than missing males according to the news media.  There really is not a lot of information in the media on Clinton's disappearance.  The few stories that have been run are no longer accessible via the web.

Carolyn

Hi Carolyn,

You are welcome!! You seem like a great fit here at SM and we will do anything we can to help you. Maybee we can start a letter writing campaign?? Are there any other missing people from that area? I noticed there is not alot of Information on what happened to Clinton and also that link at TES no longer works!! Somebody has to know something as people just dont vanish into thin air!! Maybee we can flood Kimberly Guilfoyle's email and be relentless until she airs Clintons story?? What other information can we put in this thread? What else can we do to help you?

The information as I know it is....

I spoke to Clinton on August 29 or 30.  Clinton told me he and his father were going to move out and get a place together as his father's wife treated Clinton and that he thought she was crazy.  We also spoke about his job and how excited he was about the job and the money he was able to make working on an oil rig.  He said he had been told they were going to move him to the "Cadillac of oil rigs" in Arkansas and that he had been told he would be a driller within three years.  We also spoke about him buying my car from me.

In a separate conversation - Clinton's father also told me that they were going to move away from his wife because of the way she treated Clinton. He indicated they had already looked at some places.

On September 3rd - Clinton's biological father called me and said Clinton was missing and that no one had seen or heard from him since September 1, 2006.  He said Clinton had been at a friends house and had stayed the night there and that they said he left the house to walk home (his vehicle was not running). He said no one had spoken to or seen him since September 1st.  I asked if he had called the police.  He said yes but that they would not take a missing person's report as they said he would turn up and that because he was 21 he had the right to disappear if he wanted to. 

Clinton was to return to work on Tuesday September 5th. He never showed.  He had a $2000 pay check sitting at his fathers house.  According to his father he knew the check was there.  Clinton did have some cash with him but had no bank accounts, transportation, etc.  He had always called home and spoke to his sisters and I at least every couple of days.  There have been no incoming or outgoing calls on his cell since the night of September 1st.

When Clinton did not show up for work I called LE and they took a report.  On September 10th.  Jeff (Clinton's father) called and said that LE suspected foul play and that they were searching the woods for a body.  I called LE as I had not spoken to a detective at this point.  A short while later the detective assigned to the case called me and said they did not suspect foul play and that he thought Clinton was probably shacked up with some girl and that he would show up.  He denied everything Jeff said was going on.

Approximately a month later.  LE did go to the house that Clinton was last seen and searched the property with cadaver dogs.  They did not find anything.

At the time of Clinton's disappearance he had been injured at work.  He had stitches in his collar bone, three broken rips, and his arm was in a temporary cast.  After his disappearance I found out that when he was injured that the doctors had found some kind of problem with his heart that they wanted him to have checked.  This has been verified by LE, but Clinton did not tell me about this finding.

There are several theories as to what happend that night.  One is that Clinton walked away from the house and left on his own free will. Another is that he walked away from the house and there was some kind of accident and he has not been found yet.  Another is that something happend at the house - IE heart attack and those at the party disposed of his body.  Another is that they did something to him and disposed of his body.

LE has told me the suspect foul play.  They have indicated they don't think Clinton will be found alive.  He has now been missing for more than 11 months.

There have been a couple of searches for Clinton.  Texas EquuSearch has been actively involved in looking for him.  In addition we are working with Let's Bring Them Home is help us to try and get the word out about Clinton.

There are discrepancies in statements from both Clinton's father and the people that were at the party the night of Clinton's disappearance.

I want to clarify the reward info.  There is a $12500 reward out for information leading to Clinton's whereabouts and the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for his disappearance. This reward is from Clinton's family and Texas EquuSearch

There is also a $2200 reward during the month of August in honor of Clinton's 22nd Birthday.  This reward is from an anonymous donor and is available to anyone that will lead us to Clinton or his remains and has no other restrictions.  It can be paid anonymously to anyone who leads us to Clinton as long as it is in the month of August.  Tips have been coming in but so far we have not found Clinton or his remains.

Here is the link to the TES site.

http://www.texasequusearch.org/missing_persons/ClintonNelson.pdf

Anything that we can do to get the word out about Clinton's disappearance is a good thing.  I don't know the person you are referring to but I think it is a good idea.

There are discrepancies in statements from both Clinton's father and the people that were at the party the night of Clinton's disappearance.

In a separate conversation - Clinton's father also told me that they were going to move away from his wife because of the way she treated Clinton. He indicated they had already looked at some places.

Clinton told me he and his father were going to move out and get a place together as his father's wife treated Clinton and that he thought she was crazy.


 I asked if he had called the police.  He said yes but that they would not take a missing person's report as they said he would turn up and that because he was 21 he had the right to disappear if he wanted to. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whats your gut feeling Carolyn?? I cant help but think of your ex husband and his wife and what clinton had told you about her.  Why the heck was she threatening your son?? Have they been sincere?? Is Jeff doing everything possible to find his son?? These kids at the house,the last people to see Clinton..Have you spoken to them?? Who gave discrepencies in the statements??

She is a reporter from Fox.. I just dont think its right that they had you scheduled for air time and never fullfilled that promise. Yes I realize that Lindsey brings in ratings and yes I realize there was another missing girl..But what about Clinton??

There have been discrepancies and I am not speaking to Jeff or his wife any longer.  I know Jeff is a suspect but not the primary suspect.  He has been polygraphed but it was inconclusive.  LE can't put Clinton anywhere but in that house and believes the "friends" are the last to have seen him.  The discrepancies have come from Jeff as well as the "friends".  I don't know what to think.  I want to know why there are discrepancies on both sides.  I don't think Jeff would harm Clinton but I am not sure that he would not cover it up if he knew the person that was responsible.

Carolyn, I can't imagine the pain you are going through and I want you to know that is why Scared Monkey's is here to help people like yourself. I am really really sorry and I want to help you anyway I can. My heart hurts for you and your family. I pray you get the answers you deserve.

Is Jeff back with his wife?? Did he tell you why she was threatening your son?? Clinton sounds like such a great kid..Why would she do that to him??Jealousy??She have a substance Abuse problem?? Very unfortunate that you are no longer on speaking terms with Jeff. He should be out there doing everything possible to find his son and he should be seriously looking at the those discrepancies of the last people to be with clinton. I'M sorry to ask you so many questions..This just isn't sitting well with me. I realize there is a Investigation and I do not want to interfere. Personally I think if someone is a suspect in your son's disappearance and they have lied there face should be planted right here on this thread. There whereabouts should be closely looked at during those first few days that Clinton was missing. I really hope one of these tips pans out and clinton is found.

I asked if he had called the police.  He said yes but that they would not take a missing person's report as they said he would turn up and that because he was 21 he had the right to disappear if he wanted to. 

Holy, what kind of father is this?

Hi NYC..No I think thats what Jeff claimed the LE had said..

Hi *******, ok I understand, thank you.

Yes that is what Jeff said LE said. 

The step mother (Debbie) is very jealous of Clinton and the relationship between Jeff and Clinton.  Clinton was not raised with his father, because of a drug and alcohol problem that his father had/has.  That is the reason Clinton went down to LA is that he was 20 and wanted to get to know his father and that side of the family.  I questioned Jeff for months before Clinton moved down and I believed he was clean and no longer using.  Unfortunately that is false.  He was, and is still using and it was just more lies. There is a probable drug connection. 

My son was and is a good person.  He has had a problem with drugs as a teen which we fought very hard.  He had been clean for nearly two years before he moved to LA.  He had drug tests that indicated he was not using (they were blood tests not urine).  My son was the kind of person that was very trusting and would always stick up for the underdog.  He had an incredible sense of humor with very quick whit.

I don't have a problem with the questions.  I am seeking answers.  I believe LE dropped the ball in the beginning.  A new detective was put on the case after about 6 months, but there is nothing that can change the fact that the opportunity to get info about what happened was missed within the first few days after Clinton disappeared.

Hi Carolyn! And Welcome! I am so sorry...I thought for sure she would do something after it was promised :( .....will keep on plugging for you!!!

Thank you.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have read some of what you have posted at BFN about Clinton..I like him Carolyn..He really sounds like a great young man..So many good things were about to happen for him.

What kinds of drugs is Jeff doing??He freebaseing cocaine?? Heroin?? Is that why he lies so much and never quit?? He and his wife are back together arent they?? I think that is the most evil drug and the way it affects the brain people are never really the same again. They do things they would never have done and the most important thing to them is getting there next hit. Its a life long addiction and a terrible terrible situation that your son walked into..IMO..Every drug has bad consequences but these two scare me the most.

I really am taken back by what Clinton had said about Jeffs Wife. I wonder what she was doing the night that your son dissapeared? If Jeff was a drug addict for years and years and never stopped she was most likely as well..Think back to when you first talked to Jeff,was there anything about him that sounded strange? He waited 2 days to call you and I would really like to know if he actually ever called the police. Sounds like a crack head story if you ask me. You said that he is not the main suspect and wouldnt hurt clinton but what about his wife? Clinton had broken ribs and his Arm in the cast that night..Doesnt sound like he could defend himself like he normally would and he also probably had alot of cash on him if he didnt have a bank acct.

I don't know for sure what drugs.  I do know that meth is one of them.  He claims he is no longer using but I have heard that before.  I know Jeff had told me that Debbie was addicted to perscription medicines but I am not sure.  Clinton probably had several hundred dollars at the time he disappeared. Jeff and Debbie are back together.  If they were ever really split up I am not sure.  I don't know what Debbie was doing that night to my knowledge she is not considered a suspect and LE has never spoken to her.  I believe it is possible she has some kind of involvement but LE response is until they can put Clinton anyplace but that house they really can't be strong suspects.  There has to be some kind of connection.  Jeff was supposedly working.  Jeff and Debbie both claim that I am trying to frame Jeff.

The "friends" that were at the party were questioned, refuse polygraphs and got lawyers.  There are things that have changed and are inconsistent in there stories as well.

I just dont like threats and especially before someone goes missing. She should have absolutely been questioned. Jeff should feel guilty even if he isnt involved. His son came out to live with him and spend time with him and now he is missing. What is he doing to help locate Clinton?? DId he help TES search for his son? Or was he home sniffin meth that day??

Not a great sign that these friends refused polygraphs and lawyered up either. If it was a party maybee there are other witnesses..Sounds to me like you are indicating someone at this party is a suspect...Maybee someone knows something and will come forward...They will google your son and see this chat and I want to say be a man and tell Clinton's MOM what you know.

There is always hope for a miracle Carolyn,and I really believe some news coverage would be the best. Keep your head up and keep being persistent. Do you have a email set up for anonymous tips?

My first gut feeling is that this young man was taken by a predator - as though the kid was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I feel that the party people discrepancies are due to maybe drugs at that party. I just got the feeling that the young man left the party and either someone at that party or someone in the area picked him, the young man, in a truck.

I know it's probably not much help, but haven't the police detectives questioned and interrogated any sex offenders in the area?

What is he doing to help locate Clinton?? DId he help TES search for his son? Or was he home sniffin meth that day??

Do you have a email set up for anonymous tips?
[/quote]

Jeff was at the search as was most of the family.  Other than that I don't think he has done much he is pretty complacent. 

Let's Bring Them Home has an anonymous "no cops" tip line.  Also if anyone wants to contact me my cell has been published as a way to contact.  I am to the point that right now I just need to find Clinton.  The rest is not for me to judge....judgement will come in end no matter what.  I would think if this was some kind of accident that leading us to Clinton would be a way of clearing the conscience and it could be done anonymously. The contact #'s for LBTH are 1-877-270-9500 or 1-866-479-5284.

This has been brought up as a possibility.  However, if this is the scenario, I can pretty much guarantee that my son is dead!  He would have put up a major fight before he would have allowed anything weird from a sex offender! 

Thanks for joining us Carolyn. I am new here too, but I wanted to say "Hi".

Can you tell us about the area around where Clinton was?  Is it rural, small town, city?  Would he have been walking along a highway? Is there a great distance between homes?

The stepmother should definately be a suspect IMO. She had motive if Clinton and his father were planning to leave her and he did tell you he thought she was crazy!  :-x

Carolyn, I will keep you in my prayers - please feel free to post information that you feel we could help research, etc. these guys are amazing!!!

Welcome to Scared Monkeys! 

My thoughts exactly. I totally agree.

I am sorry I know this must be very difficult & my heart does truly go out to you.
I am not so sure this young man is dead. I am only basing this on my first gut reaction and I felt this young man was targeted by a pedophile and used. Remember not so long ago and forgive me I do not recall the names, but a pedophile had kidnapped a young child and in doing so another older boy was found that he had kidnapped years earlier. Like I said, it is only based on my gut feeling (I trust it) and I think this young man is with a pedophile. That is why I suggested asking the detectives or go online and find out who are the known sex offenders in the area and within a short distance. This young man did not leave of his own free will.

Do not give up hope.

I will prayer for you.

I will pray for you & your family.

Hi Carolyn,

The more I hear about your son the more I think what a fantastic young man he is. I hope you can share more with us about him and also more about the persons of Interest. We have all been inspired by Beth Twitty's and Dave Holloway's fight to find out about what happened to Natalee and it has kept us all here 26 months later as Natalee has become part of us. I can't imagine what you are going through and I hope Beth can reach out to you and share where she gathers her inner strength.

I know it must be difficult talking about your son's dissapearance with strangers and hearing various opinions. I promise you there are some fantastic people here that want to help. Larry,Jeff and Debbie are all persons of Interest and I hope you get the chance to look them all in the eye and demand to know the truth about where your son is. Please keep us updated as I know you have a prayer vigil comin up soon in Louisiana. They all need to know that this will never go away until Clinton is home and justice is served. They have a angry mother and a few hundred pissed off people that demand to know where your son is.

Thank you ******* - I lite one.

Thank you everyone.  I am on my way to Louisiana for a candlelight vigil on September 1st.  Also to followup on some leads that have come in.  I am not sure how much I will be able to post, but please continue with the prayers for Clinton.  We are praying that this trip will end with the answers we need.  Take Care.

Carolyn

I can't agree w/ Kermie on this one but you can search here 4 sex offender via zip code for LA here http://lasocpr1.lsp.org/default.aspx if you haven't already done so. Something tells me this isn't related to any sex offense.

Klaas.....could you do a Google Earth map of "US-80 & Ward Ln, Princeton, LA 71067, USA" so we could see the surroundings please? I can't get Google Earth on this PC and I can't seem to save a Sat photo from google imagery. Thanks in advance. Leaving to take Dog to Vet 4 checkup...be back soon.

Nut...I can get it....but it will not let me copy to you.

Ok......ty anyway..wait...can you copy the sat photo here?

I sent a link to Klaas via e-mail hoping she has your address...be sure that it is the US80 and Ward and not some other address as I was playing with Google Earth.... :D

Hi Carolyn,

Please have a safe trip and keep in touch. We will have those candles lit along with your prayer vigil and I pray you get the answer's you need and Clinton is brought home. You and Clinton are in my thoughts and Prayers.

Hi Everyone...I am back.  The candlelight vigil was interesting.  However we don't have any news on Clinton or his whereabouts.  ******* if the offer to start putting info out on the suspects is still open...I am ready to start shouting from the roof tops to put the pressure on.  If anyone has ideas on anything else please let me know. 

Carolyn

Hello Carolyn.  I'm sorry you still don't have news on Clinton or his whereabouts.  I don't have any suggestions for you right now as to what else you can do, but there are a lot of very smart monkeys here that might have some ideas or strategies to help you in your quest to find Clinton.  Please know that from one mother to another I hope you are able to find your son.

Hi Carolyn,

Welcome back!!..I am so sorry that you did not get any answers!! Did you get a chance to do all you wanted to do..Did you get a chance to look them in the eye and ask them what needed to be asked? What does your intuition tell you?? What was Jeff like? Did you see his wife at all?? I dont know about the inconsistecies of the statements but I think thats a good place to start. Clinton didn't run away and in all likelyhood it sounds like you have the right people on the radar. From what you have told us there are 3 people that really need to be looked at. I have no problems at all with doing whatever it takes to help you get the answer's in what happened to Clinton. Whoever you want to look we can discuss this by email.

I saw Jeff and Debbie at the candlelight vigil.  I did not speak to them or even look at them for that matter.  The day was about Clinton and remembering him.  I did speak to Candy (the girl friend of the Larry - they are the last that we know of to have seen Clinton).  She did not tell me anything.  I know that the focus is still on Larry as he is the last person we know of to have seen Clinton.

Welcome back, Carolyn.

And ******* go, you are a better detective then me!  :wink:
Help Clinton his family to solved this case.

Hey everyone....here is one you can try an research.  There is a man Gregory Alonzo Vice Jr.  He disappearance is similar to Clinton's and in the same area.  I started trying to research him as he disappeared 7 years prior to Clinton from the same area.  I spoke to the detective working my son's case, and his case is still active.  My thought is...could there be a connection between my son's case and Gregory Vice?  I have been unable to find much info on him.  His case seems to have been dropped by LE.

Hi Carolyn,

Well I finally have a good understanding of your suspicions and the people of interest. Definetly sounds like Larry should be the main suspect and focused on but I find his biological father and step mother very disturbing. I realize Jeff has a drug problem but commen sense would tell me he would be very bothered that his Son dissapeared as Clinton made the choice to live with him and to rekindle that relationship. Here we are a year later and he is not searching for his son and has no contact with you. Very dissapointing that his wife Debbie threatened your Son buy was never questioned. I hope these people get there act together and make a attempt to find out what happened to Clinton.

Person of Interest Larry Gillespie

Larry has told varying stories about when and how Clinton left his house.  He is considered to be the primary suspect. He has refused a lie detector and my understanding is that he got alawyer almost immediately after he was arrested on drug charges relatedtothe night Clinton disappeared.

I saw there was over 3 dozen candles lit online or Clinton's Candle light Vigil..He is in our thoughts and prayers here at SM and BFN. He is a great kid and I am sure he is proud of his mom and the effort you are making in finding him. Did you get a chance to meet with Gloria Denton??

I think its important that that he isnt forgotten and pressure is put on this guy Larry who lied,refused a lie detector and lawyered up. Where was he the day after Clinton dissapeared? WHy would he lie about Clinton?? Are there other witnesses at the party?? What type of drugs was he arrested for?

*******, thank you for posting this.  I do want to be clear...at this point there is not a "suspect" as we don't know what happened to Clinton. Although I have been told foul play is suspected and that everyone is a suspect because no one has been cleared. There have been varying stories about the night Clinton disappeared.  Larry and Candy are the last people that we know of to have seen Clinton so for obvious reasons they are the people that are most likely to know what happened to him. I do know the previous detective on the case indicated that Larry had gotten a lawyer, refused a lie detector test, and to my knowledge have not assisted or cooperated in finding out what happened to Clinton. I know that the time I spoke to Larry he seemed to point in Jeff's direction.

Jeff and Debbie - have had a number of things that they have lied about and I have a lot of questions about.  I know Debbie could not stand Clinton.  I think Jeff holds some responsibility for this situation.  He may not directly involved in Clinton's disappearance but I believe he is indirectly. Jeff seems to point his finger in Larry's direction.

There is a drug (meth) connection involving Jeff, Larry, Candy, and probably Clinton. There were others at the party although I don't know all of them.  I know LE has questioned everyone that they know of that was at the party.

Thank you to everyone that lit a candle for Clinton.  I did not have access to the website while I was away so I did not get to see the 3 dozen candles but it is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Carolyn

Anybody at Larry Gillespie's party know this guy?

*******,
I think I agree with everything that you are saying. 

If Jeff is involved in Clinton's disappearance, it would be to cover for someone else.  I agree the most likely of candidates is Debbie.  I don't think Jeff could/would hurt Clinton or anyone else for that matter.  Not intentionally.  He is too complacent.  However, he knew what was going on that night and did absolutely nothing to stop it or get Clinton out of there.  Including fill me in. Jeff and his family continue to state that Clinton is still alive and walked away of his own free will.  However they also have asked about Larry's involvement.

Clinton had gotten involved in drugs as a teen.  He had been clean for about two years.  I questioned, requestioned, and called Jeff almost daily to try and find out if Clinton was headed back down that road.  Jeff repeatedly lied to me about his and most likely Clinton's drug use.  Clinton was more of a follower and not a leader.  He went to Louisiana looking to get to know his father...with his father condoning and participating in the drugs...I have no doubt it made it very easy for Clinton to start again.  Clinton was an addict...all Jeff had to do was say that Louisiana was not the place for Clinton at that point and time. If I had known Jeff was using I would never have helped pave the path for Clinton to go down there.  In addition Clinton had several drug tests...that were clean.  The last was the week prior to his disappearance...he had been hurt at work and rushed to the ER.  It was a blood test and he was clean.  There were no drugs in his system.  At the time of Clinton's disappearance...he had three fractured ribs, stitches in his collar bone, and a arm that was in a injured and had previously been in a temporary cast.

As far as Larry...Clinton met Larry at work.  Larry's father owns a welding shop and Clinton went to work for Larry's father prior to getting the job on the oil rig.  From what I have learned from LE, Clinton probably had several hundred dollars on him that night - when he supposedly left Larry's.

I know that the statements I have heard either from Larry or from LE (Larry's statement to them) #1 - Clinton went out to smoke a cigarette and never came back. #2 - Clinton ran out of Larry's door and ran west into the woods.  No idea why!  #3 - We have been told Clinton exited from the back door sometimes... and the front door sometimes.  #4 - The time range is September 1, 2006 sometime between 8:30 to midnight.  We know the last incoming call to Clinton on his cell was around 10:00 - from Jeff.  Jeff said he spoke to Clinton for a few seconds and the phone went dead.  We know that Clinton called his cousin Jennifer for a ride home sometime around 8pm. #5 - Clinton went out for a cigarette, decided to walk home around 8:30.

I would love to try and get Clinton's case out on a national level.  I am open to any help or suggestions to accomplish this.  I just can't seem to get it done.

Carolyn, do u know been there any tracks in this case?
Tracks of:
alive or killed by somebody.
Places (last seeing and ect).
Suspects (suspected situations).

Law enforcement has several theories...
#1 - He left Larry's house like Larry said and there was some kind of accident on the way home.  (This was the most popular option but after a year if there were some kind of accident - they believe he most likely would have been located).

#2 - something happened at the house - Clinton died and they disposed of his body.

#3 - something happened at the house - They caused his death and disposed of his body.

#4 - He left Larry's hitched a ride - something happened (IE - robbery) he died and was disposed of.

#5 - He left Larry's hitched a ride - disappeared and started a new life.
This seems very unlikely to me...even if he was afraid of me being disappointed in him and was afraid to contact me, he would have found a way to contact his youngest sister.  He sometimes spoke to her 2-3 times a day.

I have been told that LE suspects he is dead and they suspect foul play, they have even indicated they suspect he was buried, however there is no evidence.  There has been some testimony to support this but not enough to make any arrests of find Clinton.

There have been supposed sightings of Clinton in the beginning...however nothing could ever be confirmed.  In most cases the identity of the person they thought was Clinton was a case of mistaken identity and it was someone that looked like Clinton.

Hmhm ok. This info makes sense.
And I understand this all.
Ok let start this, I know many disappeared or missing case been not easy for a solved, because there been mostly no tracks. But when there is a track, that can have two things. One track to find him or her. And the second is never get a track where somebody can search.
But in this case: there is no evidence, or he is died or have start a new life.
And now not find what u must think and where they must search.
But let me think with u, what can be the tracks and ect.

Let we start the first by Larry.
Is he the father of Clinton?

Larry is Clinton's "friend" Jeff is Clinton's biological father....

Ok, thank you!
I have see this, I want read this post of u, and give a reply-post soon about this.

Hi Carolyn,

From Larry's Home to Jeff's Home
Total Est. Distance: 9.18 miles

None of this makes sense to me..Why would he go to a party and want to leave so soon? What was the reason for him leaving? I just dont see him attempting to walk home a distance of almost 10 miles or hitchhiking..No Way!! Most likely he would have waited for a ride from someone at the party or from his Father. It appears he asked for a ride at 8PM which tells me he didn't want to be at this party..Maybee he saw the drug use at this party and wanted no part of it?? Larry is 10 years older than Clinton and I am curious what type of characters were there. Clinton is just a kid and your right he should not have been hanging around Larry and whoever else was at this party. Yes it is easy to fall back into drugs when everyone around you is doing it..But I have seen no evidence of that with Clinton. Meth stays in your system normally 2-5 days and I would imagine these guys are doing it on a regular basis. He had a unexpected drug test and was clean. Maybee he wanted to help his estranged father and get him away from the Crystal Meth problem in that town?

How long was Clinton in Louisiana? How long did he know Larry? Everything above bothers me as how could he be so vague? 8:30-Midnight?? Never says goodbye? Never says he has a ride? Larry knew he didn't have a car his answer's just don't make any sense. The 10pm phone call to Clinton is also strange as normally when the call is disconnected you call back..Did he get voice mail? DId he leave a message? Where was Clinton at 10PM? I am sure Clinton called Jeff that night and told him he needed a ride and wanted to come home. I bet the cell phone records verify that. What was Jeff's excuse for not giving him that ride?

What reason's does Jeff think that Clinton just walked away?? Left all his paychecks and belongings and never calls anyone again?? To start a new life?? Now I understand why you have no contact with him anymore..That makes my blood boil and I still don't know all the facts. My heart really hurts for you and your daughter!! Where was Debbie on Sept 1st? Is it possible she showed up and gave him a ride? I'M sorry but I cant get her out of my mind as to me she is the first person I would be talking to. How paranoid was she that Clinton was taking her husband away? She sound's like a total speed freak and her threatening Clinton bothers me Big Time!! For her not to be questioned is absolutely unnaceptable!! She is the only one with a motive as she sounds Paranoid,Delusional and Psychotic..All of the things that it sounds like Clinton told you about her. How well does this Debbie know Larry?? How Jealous of she of Clinton?

I am not a good writer,but my suggestion is we get all the facts in writing and never give up on a major network airing Clinton's story. Why not AMW?? Why not continue to ask Greta's Producers that they honor there promise to air your son's story?? It's absolutely heartbreaking that Clinton left to start a new life with the Father he never knew only to be never seen again. This same Father says that he ran away and his pointing fingers at someone else and that person is pointing the finger right back at him. Clinton had some nice paychecks waiting for him,a good job and was excited about what tommorow offered him. No he's not a young girl that dissapeared and people should take interest in Clinton's dissapearance for that reason. He deserves the same coverage that Greta gave to another missing girl the night she promised to air clinton's story!!

Clinton had been at Larry's house for 1-2 days....evidentally there was an argument of somekind with Jeff (the argument is one of the items that has changed several times - Jeff has told me they argued and other days he said they did not).

Clinton had known Larry for a few months maybe.  Clinton moved to Louisiana in March/April time frame...I think he worked for Larry's father in June 2006 - only for a few weeks.  Clinton told me he had found out that he was probable going to work on the oil rig and told Larry's father about the opportunity...he was fired on the spot.

According to LE - Clinton was probably using that night and was pretty paranoid.  We don't know where Clinton was when Jeff called him around 10 pm...LE pulled cell records but no tower records so location is unknown for sure.  However LE has indicated that they believe Clinton was at Larry's when the call was received.

I can't answer any of the questions on Debbie...LE said they can't put Clinton anywhere but that house so until they can link Clinton to someone outside of that house there is no sense in pursuing it.

I have written to AMW (several times) - they are not responding so far.  I can use all of the help I can get to get Clinton's story out on a national level.  However because the drug use is probable...that will give them another reason to not run the story....

Hi Carolyn,

Clinton had been at Larry's house for 1-2 days....evidentally there was an argument of somekind with Jeff (the argument is one of the items that has changed several times - Jeff has told me they argued and other days he said they did not)
I find that interesting and very sad..Clinton was forced out wasnt he? I wonder if the argument was about debbie?? Did clinton work on Sept 1st or the day before?

Clinton had known Larry for a few months maybe.  Clinton moved to Louisiana in March/April time frame...I think he worked for Larry's father in June 2006 - only for a few weeks.  Clinton told me he had found out that he was probable going to work on the oil rig and told Larry's father about the opportunity...he was fired on the spot.
That was very nice of him..Shows what type of people we are dealing with here..

According to LE - Clinton was probably using that night and was pretty paranoid.  We don't know where Clinton was when Jeff called him around 10 pm...LE pulled cell records but no tower records so location is unknown for sure.  However LE has indicated that they believe Clinton was at Larry's when the call was received.
Who said he was using that night? Larry who has lied many times or someone else at the party? Since Clinton is the victim here he should get the benefit of the doubt that he wasnt using any drugs!! "Probable drug use" bothers me considering it probably came from drug users at that party or Larry himself. Sounds like a bunch of made up BS that he would just run into the woods or leave without saying anything about getting a ride. Sounds like he was at the house at 10pm..Where else would he have gone to? He certainly wasnt gonna walk 10 miles..Since he may have had arguments with Larry it makes me wonder if larry was planning on picking him up or not??

Also why would he be paranoid?? Was it the drugs or something else? Or is that another lie??No way he was paranoid if he just started using that day or night..I doubt it..Now if he was using and was up the night before then it is very probable..Thats a nasty wicked drug and people get extremely paranoid,delusional and psychotic after a few days with no sleep..Users can easily stay up for several days and even a week. But I dont see that happening if he just started using that day/night..I think it would be almost the opposite and more euphoric and invincible..Lets say he was up the night before and was paranoid..Whats if someone tried to take advantage of him or was picking on him??BTW:I know what I am talking about as I grew up in the 80's in San Diego when it was the epicenter for that crap..I have seen many people ruin there lives with this drug

I can't answer any of the questions on Debbie...LE said they can't put Clinton anywhere but that house so until they can link Clinton to someone outside of that house there is no sense in pursuing it.
Ok fine..However Clinton himself said that She was crazy and threatened him before his dissapearance and it appears that he had a argument with Jeff and wasnt even living there for a day or two. She most definetly should have been at least questioned. She sounds like she was jealous,paranoid and for her to threaten him is just unreal!! Jeff was also the last incoming call to Clinton's phone..How many voice mails did he leave on CLintons phone? How many times did Clinton call Jeff or that house??Sounds like they must have settled there argument because he was asking his cousin for a ride at 8pm to go back home..

I have written to AMW (several times) - they are not responding so far.  I can use all of the help I can get to get Clinton's story out on a national level.  However because the drug use is probable...that will give them another reason to not run the story....
No proof at all Clinton was using drugs..He had a random test shortly before his dissapearance and it was totally clean tests. As well as other clean teHe was forced into a situation where it sounds like everyone around him was using even his father!

When I first heard Clintons story on SM Radio to be honest it wasnt that interesting as very little clues were revealed. It was heartbreaking but you never told all of these things on the show that make it all that more interesting for a producer of one of these shows. Now that I know alot more details I am glued to it and I will do whatever I can to help. Can you send me by email what you are emailing? I would be more than happy to help and I am sure others would as well. AMW,Greta,Nancy Grace,KImberly Guilfoyle..Someone will take heart and air Clinton's story..Persistence will pay off..

My opinion is a nice one page letter from clintons perspective that tell's his story,your experience dealing with these people of interest and the lies!! This story hits home for me in alot of ways and it should for many others as well. How many people have fathers they never knew? Whats America gonna think when this estranged Father thinks he ran away and started a new life after Clinton gave up everything to be with him and had so much going for him?? How many parents have lied about there drug use to be closer to there kids? How many people have a son that dissapeared and several people lying and pointing fingers at each other? How many people have been far away from there family and been caught in a bad situation? People should know that Larry Gillespie lied about several things,refused a lie detector and then lawyered up. This wasnt a pretty young female that they typicly air but a handsome young man that had alot to be excited about and you should use that to your advantage.

Thanks Muffy  :D

This is the e-mail that I have been sending out.

My name is Carolyn Johnson, my son Clinton Nelson disappeared from Princeton LA on 9/1/2006.  He supposedly left a friends house around 8:30 to walk home and vanished.  He has not been seen or heard from since.  The police suspect foul play and have even indicated that they believe he is dead and think he was buried.  There are a couple of people that Clinton was at a party with that are the primary suspects.  His father is also a suspect and the last one to speak to him.  I have been contacting every national news organization I can come up with to try and get the information out nationwide on my son's case but no one seems to want to run anything on his disappearance.  I know that most news outlets want to run stories on attractive white females, but I am pleading for you to help get the word out on my son's case.  We have a $12500 reward out for information leading to his whereabouts and the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible.

Thank you MuffyBee and ******* for your thoughtfulness.

Carolyn

I think it's a good letter Carolyn as it's short and to the point..My opinion is that it needs just a bit more detail about why they are suspects. It needs to be more juicy to get them interested. Just a couple short facts so they want to know more..Also maybee a bit more personal so they take interest in Clinton..You can be a little dramatic as it's just a email..Anything to get them to call you back and get this broadcasted..Anything to make this different than the hundreds of other missing people. It's been a year now and someone needs to come forward and help you and clinton. Somebody may have seen something,Someone may have been afraid to come forward and most importantly to put pressure on these lying sacs of $%&%

I am too wordy but I just want to show what I think may help. Give me a day to think about this and I am sure there are much better writers here at SM that can help. Also I think it may be a good idea to get a email like helpfindclinton@yahoo.com just in case someone wants to clear there conscious or may have some information that they were afraid to come forward with before or does not want to call the LE but you personally.

Something like this mixed in with your facts.. My son dreamed of getting to know the father he never knew and my ex husband assured me that his dark past was behind him. He made that trip across country to Louisiana but before I knew it was all lies my son had dissapeared..The main suspect has also lied and changed his story,refused a lie detector and immediately hired lawyers. Since then the suspects have pointed fingers at each other and claimed he ran away to start a new life. He never got that chance to fullfill his dreams and he deserves to have his story told as I am confident that airing his story could provide some valuable clues to his whereabouts.

I threw this out just to give you a example of what personally bothers me and needs to be told in addition to Larry's lies on a larger letter-My Son just had started a great new job on a oil rig and was excited for his future as Clinton's father told me that they were going to move away from his wife because of the way she treated Clinton. He indicated they had already looked at some places. Clinton had told me before he dissapeared that she was Crazy and threatened him and she was never even questioned. I asked Clinton's Father if he had called the police. He said yes but that they would not take a missing person's report as they said he would turn up and that because he was 21 he had the right to disappear if he wanted to.  

Hmhm interesting Clinton left a friend home for cigarettes to obtain, around 8:30PM.
And this father Jeff, calls him 10PM, on his cell phone.
Where he was, when he pick up the phone?
Where was he between 8:30-10:00PM?
What is there happened after 10PM, after the phone call?

Thanks *******...
We are working with "Lets Bring Them Home".  They have a "no cops" hotline that people can call into anonymously.  They are also working on getting a web page up for Clinton.  I also know that Ladonna @ LBTH has spoken to America's Most Wanted and sent additional information to them.  They also send out weekly press releases on Clinton's case.

Your Welcome..Just tryin to give you ideas and also feedback from a *******..

Thats great!! I would love to send out emails everyday to these various news shows that would consider airing Clintons story..I think persistence will eventually pay off and I am confident that Clinton will be found and those responsible will be brought to justice..Keep on fighting and dont give up hope!!

Also I ran Gregory Alonzo Vice Jr. previous addresses as I noticed he was also from Princeton. Nothing really stood out from anyones known address and he was never lived closer than 5 miles from any of the suspects..His last address was I think like 10 miles away..I will keep digging to see if there is any other connection's..I am curious if he knew any of the suspects or anyone that was at that party that night?? He was a year older than Clinton when he dissapeared.. :-?

I have not posted to this thread, mainly because I don't have anything very helpful to add, other than to let you know (Carolyn) that I do read it everyday and look for new developments and offer my support.  I would be glad to write letters or do anything at all that might help the case.  

I tend to agree with ******* regarding the information presented so far.  Sounds like this Larry person knows WAY more than he is letting on.  Obviously something happened on his end or Jeff's.  I know you said he didn't have much money on him but any money is all a meth head needs.  What did Jeff do with the money he had of Clinton's I wonder.  Like did anyone actually see it?

Just trying to think if maybe one of them wanted a loan or something and maybe Clinton would not loan them $ for drugs and that could have set off a fight or something.

Also, why cant they get the last place Clinton's cell phone pinged?

Anything at all I could do to help, I would gladly do.  Prayers with your family, I cant even imagine .....

Hi NYC :P Carolyn,She is still perfecting her english as she is dutch :D

NYC I believe the suspect said he went out to smoke a cigarette at about that time but it has never been proven he left the house. They dont know where he was at 10PM but the LE thinks he was still at Larry's house. Larry says he left the house from 8:30 to 12:00 but that has never been proven either. I dont think Carolyn knows what happened after that 10pm phone call and I dont think the LE does either.

"Just trying to think if maybe one of them wanted a loan or something and maybe Clinton would not loan them $ for drugs and that could have set off a fight or something"

Also, why cant they get the last place Clinton's cell phone pinged?

Hi Jennifer..Thanks for your support..Thats a good point you brought up!! If he had a couple hundred on him that is a possibility..He looks like a pretty clean cut kid and may have been picked on by one of the meth heads at the party..I could easily see that happening as that Larry was 10 years older and I can only imagine what type of people may have been at his house..Could that be why Clinton was tryin to get a ride at 8PM that night?

I didn't understand why they couldnt ping the phone either..Very important thing to do considering it was the last call he received and the phone mysteriously went dead after that.

Hi Cut :P, thank you. I understand this all.
I think he was also in the house of Larry, and there was something wrong with the phone call with Clinton his father.

Jennifer Thanks for your input and kindness....
******* I am always anxious to read your thoughts....

Just to clarify...Clinton's phone received hundreds of calls for a several days after he disappeared.  The phone was active I am assuming until the battery finally died.  The last call around 10 pm when Jeff spoke to Clinton was not any longer than the hundreds of calls following when Jeff, his family, and I were trying to call Clinton.  The last call LE has been able to verify outgoing was to cousin Jennifer from Clinton. He called her for a ride and she could not pick him up.  LE did get the cell records but did not request the tower records - the cell companies only keep these records for 30 days and there is no way to get them.  By the time I found this out it was already to late.  Also LE did not get involved until Clinton has been missing for 4 or 5 days - the only reason they took the report was because I called hysterical after he did not show up at work on the Tuesday following his disappearance.  I know that nothing was done on the case until the following week after they took the report. So by the time LE was involved Clinton's phone was dead.  Even after the were involved, the detective working the case at the time "point blank" told me Clinton was probably shacked up with a girl and would show up.  I think he believed Clinton was alive for at least a month after he disappeared.  It was around this time that they decided to search Larry's with cadaver dogs.

If someone had wanted to borrow money from Clinton and he had the money - he would have given it to them.  That is the kind of person he was and he got burned more than once for being generous.

Jeff had Clinton's paycheck.  He cashed it after Clinton disappeared and spent the money...until LE told him he could be charged with theft and forgery.  He then wrote me a check for the amount of the paycheck and I have it in an account for Clinton or Clinton's son. 

Yes Clinton has a child that was born in October after he disappeared.  He did not know for sure he was going to be a father as the baby's mother was saying that the child was not Clinton's and that another guy was the dad.  Tests later proved that the other guy was not the baby's father.

I am open to an email campaign - I know that there are others that have offered to help on BFN....

I have a brother and brother in law that both are in the cell phone business.  One of them posts here.  I am going to ask him to read this and see if he has any input.

I dont doubt for a minute that Clinton would not give some one some money if they asked.  I was just thinking maybe if he knew the person was using it for meth he might not give it to them as to not perpetuate the person's problem. (You know what I am saying, since he wasnt using.)

Did his cousin know where he was when he called?  Like did he say, can you pick me up, I am at Larry's? or indicate his where abouts?  I know that call was around 8:30 and then he easily could have left where ever he was at the momment.  Just trying to think back to the information that can be nailed down ....

Also, I forgot to ask ...Does Larry have a reason for "lawyering up"?  I wonder what made him think he needed a lawyer and or would refuse a polygraph?

Jennifer,
Yes the cousin knew he was at Larry's when he called.

As far as Larry getting a lawyer...he was arrested on drug charges related to that night.  I have been told the detective working the case at the time verbally accused him of murdering Clinton therefore he ended up getting a lawyer.

I figured it was something like that.

Again just a couple more things bothering me..Why would the detective think that Clinton ran away and was shacked up with some girl for a month? What reason's did Jeff have to cash Clinton's Paycheck and spend it? Isnt that Forgery?? Everything about that guy bothers me!!

Sounds like Clinton is a very generous person and a great kid..Makes me wonder if he already lended someone money and they didn't pay him back..That would upset a druggy if they knew he had a few hundred on him and Clinton didn't want to lend them more money..Depending on how many were at that house I have a feeling that there are more witnesses that havent told what they know yet..IMO

Email campaign to the various News Networks and Shows sound goos to me!!

I have seen cases where the LE will hold someone suspected of murder on unrelated charges...
Carolyn, is this LE that verbally accused Larry of murder, does he think that is the case?
I would agree that larry is very suspicious...

Jennifer, I do hope that Metro can help... he has amazing cell phone knowledge!!! 

Carolyn reading and hoping every day....

It is not just Larry who is very suspicious..But also Jeff!!!!! He had arguments with Clinton and his wife threatened him just before Clinton dissapeared..He is also the last known person to speak with Clinton before he went missing. He has lied and changed his story several times! After Clinton went missing he has the gall to say that he ran away and started a new life..He know's damn well Clinton wouldn't do that!! The bastard even cashed Clinton's paycheck and spent it!! Clinton moved across the country to be with him and get to know him..What is he doing to find his son?? This guy makes me sick!!!!!

Mrs.Red..I'M not even involved but I cant tell you how angry this Jeff makes me.. :2brickwall: :smt075

Perhaps Jeff & Larry are both involved ...... Are they friends?  Like would Jeff be in & out of Larry's? 

Thanks everyone....

I agree with ******* - Jeff makes me mad too!
As far as Larry and Jeff knowing each other or being in on it together....they do know each other.  I doubt, they are in on it together.  The most likely scenario is that something happened to Clinton and Larry (maybe someone else helped) disposed of his body.  That is the rumor that has been circulating in Louisiana. 

Either way, the person(s) that know are not talking.....

There have been several rewards offered up to $12500 for information in finding Clinton and the arrest & conviction of the person(s) responsible.
There was another one during the month of August (In honor of Clinton's 22nd B-Day) of $2200 for Clinton's whereabouts....

None of it has brought forth the info to find Clinton.

As far as some kind of media campaign...I know BFN has also offered to help.  I don't know who else to contact.  Greta is the only one that I have spoken to...no one else even bothers to respond.  If anyone has suggestions...I am game also.

Hi Djenn, good question!

When they been friends, I think the phone call is the most interesting fact.
What kind of phone call has Clinton had with this father?
And why was the cell phone falling down, few seconds, after start with the phone call conversation?
I think everybody know, when he or her cell phone is falling down.
Or is there something else happened?
Has there somebody press his cell phone out? During the conversation with his father?

I know BFN has also offered to help.  I don't know who else to contact.
Carolyn, I think media is not best what u can get, but it is all time good for a case.
I think what u have need, good investigator(s), private investigator(s), detective(s) or a tip-person(s), IMO can that better helping. One tip, watch or search for the good person(s) who u can helping.

NYC_Lover
I agree that national media may not be a huge help in finding Clinton...however my thought was that it would keep the pressure on Larry and Jeff and anyone else that could have been involved.  Also by getting national coverage it will also keep LE going so they don't think it is going to die down.  I don't think the detective working the case will just drop it but without any new info, I am afraid it will get put on the back burner.

As far as need a PI - I have spoken to one but I can't afford a whole lot more than I have already done.....we are fortunate that we have been able to do what we have so far, but I can't do a whole lot more financially.

I understand this all, and sure about the financially and Clintons case is fall down.
I don't think the detective working the case will just drop it but without any new info,
I am afraid it will get put on the back burner.
That is correct, about the detective, and I see in many case, when there is no new info, there is no new searching, and ect.
And well, many case, there come no new information by detectives. And it is not easy for them to try to track somebody that is missing.
But I think for to get new information, it is important to somethings to post on the internet or/and bring in the media, what can probably help for new information to solved a case. I mean with somethings: the last sign of life, suspects, place where there probably something is happened that day or night, place where the suspects life, and ect.
I know there can come problems with LE, but they don't must forget that we talk about a missing person, what is not seen since, and is searching by family or/and friends.

Maybe can this questions help, to find out, about the cell phone conversation.
And then make the discionarios, what there is happened, how late something is happened, and the timeline around the disappeared of your son.

The conversation that I had with LE about this phone call is that is can't be verified that it actually took place.  Jeff told me and LE he spoke to Clinton and what the conversation was, however, the call was not anylonger than the hundreds of other calls following this one - when family members were trying to call Clinton and it would connect and then disconnect.  Unfortunately we have the same problem with this call - the people that know are the same people that may know what happened to Clinton....

Interesting about Jeff, he want not tell where they have talking about and not work with the investigating to his own case of his missing son. Hmhm interesting.
IMO this is in your belong, for to find your son. And not to know the facts, because they been mostly when not to retrieve, the suspect will speak visibility never concerning something, in its free life or in the prison.
I think, somebody must itself infect in where he is or where is stay place is. What maybe can help to find him.

Thanks NYC LOVER -
You raised some interesting points.  Thanks for taking the time.  Take care of yourself.

Carolyn,
Just a note to let you know that we are all with you... and although I don't always post, I do follow and look for updates.

God bless you.. and be with you.  Maybe the monkeys can start an email campiagn to the media outlets on your behalf?

*******, why don't you post that in the Musings thread??? 

Thank you Mrs. Red....I know there are a lot of people that check in. It is difficult when a case reaches this point.  No new info....it is difficult to know what to say and it is difficult to know what to do.  I appreciate your support!  Take Care!

A Special Requst to Parents of Murdered or Missing Children
by Greta Van Susteren
There any many comments posted about our trip to Aruba…there are kind words about Beth but also hostile ones.  I am curious about your comments….but I am particularly interested in what parents of missing or murdered children have to say about Beth’s persistence…..about her writing a book etc.  Perhaps you are a relative or friend of a parent who has suffered a missing or murdered child…if so, please post a comment.

http://gretawire.foxnews.com/

************
Carolyn, 

Was thinking maybe you might want to add a comment, since Greta has opened a door, here.  (maybe Gloria and others, as well.)

Thanks 2NJ - that is a great idea.  I will do it right now! 

CJ

Bumping this forward for easy access

I tried to leave a comment in reference to Greta's request for info from missing parents but the web pages keeps erroring out when I try to send.

Thanks
Carolyn

I saw your post Carolyn..Well done!!

What email address do you want us to use for the media to respond to during this email campaign?

*******....my email address is XXXXXXX.  Do you need a phone # to contact me also?  Thanks again for your help.

CJ

Carolyn, we don't post emails on here unless you want to be contacted by whomever... everyone can read here.  Please send Klaas your email and she can forward to me and we can pass it along to those that ask... and you give us permission to send it to...

klaasend@scaredmonkeys.com

I think for those that help in a email campaign your personal number is not needed..I have your number Carolyn and if for some reason they write me back instead of you then I will give it to that particular media outlet.

I have never done this before and I need to work on my letter but I think it would be great if somehow we could get some cameras,lights and some questions answered in that small town in Louisiana..It makes me really sad because I know Clinton's story but I truly believe that if we could put it all into words they should be jumping at the chance to air your son's story..He wasn't the star Quarterback,A young beautiful Model but just a great young man who dissapeared while living with the father he never knew..Kind of Ironic that Clinton also has a son that he doesnt know...


Still being overprotective....

*******,
That is exactly my point....I know that my son was not perfect.  He had his faults but I know in my heart that whatever happened that night was not his doing!  My instints tell me there are at least a couple of people that know what happened that night.  I don't know if his father or someone in his family is involved or if it was the friends that he was with.  Both sets of people have lied....Clinton was the kind of person that would give the shirt off of his back to help someone else.  He was the kind of person that was a magnet for children and animals.  They loved him.  He was so proud of himself and his job - and the kind of money he was making.  He had big plans and dreams.  He was making plans to buy my car from me (2000 Toyota Solara) we were supposed to have met in Denver, the weekend he disappeared but my father-in-law had major health problems and ended up in emergency surgery.  We had to postpone the trip!  I know that Clinton would be very proud of his son...he is the spitting image of his father!  Not just in appearances but so far his personality is also like his father!  Clinton would have fallen in love at first sight! 

CJ

I saw your post.. and commented on it in the Natalee thread... that we needed to make sure there is an email campiagn.

I just saw your post, Carolyn....I regretted sending you there, after reading all the crackpot posts, but I saw that you held your own and told them a thing or two.  Just was hoping that Greta would have commented....she did, later tonight, for another poster whose son died with no cause of death. 

It was a shot...like Mrs. Red & ******* said, the email campaign will have to push.

Carolyn,Sounds like you described your son well in your post and it is absolutely heartbreaking!! For the Father in Louisiana to say that he thinks Clinton started a new life and ran away just makes my blood boil!! He needs a camera and lights pointed in his face and a few questioned asked!!

What are you doing to help find your son Jeff Mason??

Thanks everyone.....I have to say....I feel horrible for Beth!  How can people be so rude, inconsiderate, ignorant, and selfish?  Some of the thing people said about Natalee and Beth make me ill!  I think Beth is setting a good example for all of the parents of missing children!  She is setting a good example and not giving up!  Good for her for keeping Natalee in the news any way that she can! 

Take care everyone! 

Carolyn Johnson

P.S. There is supposed to be a press release out today about Clinton.  LBTH is posting a $75000 reward in Clinton's case, as well as up to $5000 for any new information that leads to the recovery of Clinton or any item on his person at the time of his disappearance.

******* had posted this link to enable us to light a candle for Clinton on the Sept. 1 vigil.  I am bringing the link over to this page so that anyone that wants to light candles for Clinton will see it:

 Carolyn...I check in here every day,but never really knew what to say. :sad: Do as Beth is doing and keep up the fight.

 Let's hope the new reward and press release brings you some answers in finding out just what happened to Clinton.

What does mean, LBTH?

Hi Carolyn...Mrs Red edited a couple of your posts this morning. Wanted to make sure that you saw them. :wink:

And yes what is LBTH..google didn't help

LBTH = Let's Bring Them Home

AH HA!! Thanks Sledogs, I knew Carolyn had posted this before and could not think of it.

I sent the email to the address above.  I apologize.  I did not mean to do something I was not supposed to do.  Thanks for all of the help.

Carolyn Johnson

Thanks Mum....I appreciate your compassion and kind words.  I pray that this new reward will bring forth the answers to find my son! 

Carolyn

I saw and responded.....I should have known better than to post me email address...I just did not thing about it.  Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Hi Carolyn...I think? what MrsRed was saying is that if I want to contact you (or any other Monkey), I would ask Klaas for your email and then she would make sure with you that it is Ok for her to give it to me.  Does that make sense?

This totally makes sense.  Thanks Again.

Carolyn

Hi Carolyn,
Is this the way, that Clinton probably when he had probably to taken, to this home, that night?

(http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc231/Crimesearcher/clintonway.jpg)

If he was walking home - that is the most likely route....I still question that because of his injuries.  He was healing from broken ribs, stitches in his collar bone, and an injured arm.

There is also a report that he ran west into the woods...no explanation at to why he would have done that.

Thanks
Carolyn

Ok thank you Carolyn. But that seems not good at all.
This case is really sad, because there is no trace from him.
But this case is interesting for a researching.

Thanks NYC_Lover,
Feel free to check with me if you need clarification on anything.  Take Care.

CJ

My opinion is that it is extremely unlikely that Clinton attempted to walk 9-10 miles home at night..He had money in his pocket and something happened at that house or someone picked him up like Jeff/Debbie..Maybee thats what that 10PM phone call was all about..Only takes a second to say meet me out in front of the house..

I agree...I have wondered the same thing.  The problem is, I don't think Jeff would have been able to do something to Clinton and cover it up.  He may a good lier but I don't think he could intentionally hurt someone.  He is too passive.  Someone else that he knows maybe....I do think he would try to cover it up though!  They say blood is thicker than water but not always!  However we are still back to the original problem...no one has been able to place Clinton anywhere outside of that house....the only person that says he left is Larry and Larry's story about how and when he left has changed a couple of times.  There also seems to be a discrepancy about if Clinton had money or not.  Larry told me that Clinton had a couple hundred dollars...he told the police that he was out of money.  One more lie added to the rest....

I just keep coming up with more questions and absolutely no answers!

Thanks
CJ

Sorry to babble but I had to lay out what makes sense to me. Scenario one makes the most sense as it gives everyone reason to lie about what happened to Clinton. I can't help but wonder how close Debbie and Larry are or what mutual acquaintance they may have that was with Clinton that night?

I think it's more than likely Clinton did have a few hundred in his pocket..He had no expenses and was saving up for a place and a car..He even had a nice paycheck he didn't cash..Your right Larry again lied to the police!! I know I do not know everything but I really believe this was a poor Investigation conducted by the police..I could list a dozen reasons why I think so. However it is a small town and they have had what 2 disappearances in 10 years? I know the other person was about the same age as Clinton and it makes me wonder if he knew Larry as well or someone else that is involved in Clinton's disappearance? Is Larry a thug? Is he capable of hurting someone? His Father firing Clinton on the spot from the welding shop gives me a clue as to what type of family this may be.

You had stated that Clinton and his dad had arguments the previous day or so and I would bet it was about Debbie..What else could it have been? Sounds like Jeff and Clinton were getting along great with the exception of his wife. After all,the argument is why he was staying at Larry's correct? Debbie is the one who threatened Clinton and in her tweaked out brain Clinton was taking her husband away..Remember,Clinton had a $2,000 check and was now able to put a downpayment on a Apartment as Clinton and his Father had already looked at places. Sounds like it was in the works and was gonna happen in a very short time. I agree that Jeff is most likely covering for someone and IMO that person is Debbie..She is the only one that has a motive and the only one Jeff would lie for. Cant imagine him covering for anyone else unless he is much closer to Larry than we thought or they have major dirt on him,bribed him or threatened him..For them never to question Debbie is just ridiculous!! I don't care where Clinton was seen last because he wasn't found there and he is still missing!!

Clinton wasn't there long enough to have bonded with anyone other than his Father..It's a small town and they would most likely cover for each other especially Larry,His GF and Friends at the party..I see Larry's lies coming out but I still know little about him..At this time I only see two motives why anyone would want to hurt Clinton whether by accident or on purpose..

1.Clinton told you in his own words..She is Crazy and she threatened me..It's possible she became extremely jealous of Clinton for many reasons but it is a fact that Clinton and Jeff were planning to move out together. She became paranoid she was losing her husband and she either personally picked up Clinton,had a friend do it or she asked one of her friends at the party to instill some fear into him so he stayed away from Jeff. If she is a meth addict especially long term I most definitely see any of these things being very possible..Her hate,jealousy and paranoia of Clinton might have drove her to do something and for her never to be even questioned by the police is unacceptable. Why isn't it possible she knew a thug at the party and bribed him with some drugs to tell Clinton to get the hell out of Princeton LA? Why isn't it possible she is the one who picked up Clinton in front of Jeff's house? 10pm call to Clinton's phone was only a few seconds..But was it Jeff telling him to go out front as Debbie or someone else would pick him up? If Jeff's phone call was cut off after a few seconds..Why didn't he call back?? Did he really try to file a missing persons report?? WHo really said that they would not take a missing person's report as  he would turn up and that because he was 21 he had the right to disappear if he wanted to? Why would Jeff cash his paychecks and spend his sons money and then say he thinks Clinton ran away and started a new life? Jeff,Debbie and Larry all need to be interrogated by the Police again!! People that are innocent do not lie to the Police and refuse refuse LDT'S.

My instincts tell me that Larry and Debbie should be the two main suspects. I think it's very possible Debbie asked a Friend,Thug or Relative at the Party to have a talk with Clinton and something went wrong. That or she picked up Clinton herself or had a friend do it. That would explain why both parties are lying and that would explain why Jeff is covering for someone. Clinton was already injured and its possible that something accidental happened when roughing him up and scaring him. It's possible that neither Jeff or Larry are responsible for Clintons disappearance but both helped cover things up afterwards and that is there involvement. Jeff is protecting his wife and covering up and Larry is protecting a friend or himself and covering up. Makes me wonder if there was any contact between Debbie and Larry from Sept 1st-3rd??

2.I think it's a fact that Clinton was a pretty harmless person,generous and would be easy prey for Larry or someone at that house who needed some cash. Yes he would gladly loan anyone money if they needed it but what if he already did that and they never paid him back? Maybee someone at the party said no don't give that person money you will never get it back!! If they knew this 160lb Kid had 200 bucks it's possible they would be desperate enough to make him give them the money. Also possible that Clinton went in with someone to buy drugs and they ripped him off..Clinton became upset and something bad happened. This scenario though does not explain the Lies by Clinton's Dad and why he would cover for some unknown person at the party or Larry. Unless they threatened him,Bribed him or had major dirt on him. For Larry to change his story and Lie so many times leaves me to believe he is covering for someone or himself. Either these two parties are very close,both involved somehow or they are covering for a mutual friend..IMO

Hi Carolyn  --  sorry I have not been involved in Cllinton's case :oops: but will try to read back and get up to speed.

If what I'm getting ready to post is old and has already been covered ..I am sorry

I think the Outdoor Advertising Association of America (Road side Bill Boards)
http://tinyurl.com/2cahz6  has a program where they will put up a signs for free for missing persons.   I think I read that in one of CTV threads  for Namoi Arnette  http://tinyurl.com/2e6hm4

You are welcome, Carolyn.
When there is anything what I can do for u.
There been sure clarifications, and when u want I can try to help u and bring them to u.
When u want, ask my email on Klaasend.

Old Fart....
KTBS, Shreveport Times, KSLA are the closest that I know of and I check several times a day.  As far as the billboards....we have been trying to get one up...Lamar Advertising originally said they would put one up but, changed thier mind in the end....I am assuming because there may be a drug connection...I could use any help here that you can provide.

Thanks for your help.

CJ

*******....do you read my mind or what? 

I agree with both scenario's as both are what I have come up with.  However according to the police....they can't place Clinton anywhere but the police and until they can everything outside of that house is "speculation".  This is there word not mine....I don't know how or where to go to find out what happened from the time that Larry claims Clinton left his house.  The only thing I can come up with is the cell phone records....which are gone.  The original detective on the case said he did not get the tower record because he knew where Clinton was...however....he can't tell me where he is?   Now it is too late...the records are only kept for 30 days.  Clinton disappeared on September 1st....I questioned the detective in October/November of 2006.  By the time I found out it was too late to get the records....it was too late......what know?

*******...sorry.....

The last sentence should have been

What now?   Spelling error.....my bad!

Thanks
CJ

Carolyn - I feel for you, and for what you have been going through trying to find your son. I'm trying to get caught up also, on the facts of his case, but it does sound like ******* has some good theories.
Am I getting this right? Are the police not really pursuing Clinton's case? Would it be possible to get your own investigator?

PDH3

I think that is something that is in the works. Money being an issue, of course.  Law enforcement is still working the case...however we don't know much more today than we did the day he disappeared.  It is very frustrating and upsetting.

For Immediate Release
Let's Bring Them Home
Contact:  LaDonna Meredith
479-966-0471
 
The family of Clinton Nelson watched the one year anniversary of his disappearance come and go.  And yet Clinton Devon Nelson, last seen on Friday, September 1, 2006, remains missing.
 
It was reported that Nelson was last seen at approximately 8:30pm leaving a friend's house in the vicinity of Ward Lane and Highway 80 in Princeton, Louisiana.
 
Despite the mystery surrounding Nelson's disappearance, his family remains hopeful that Clinton will be found.  In their quest for answers, Nelson's family has partnered with the national non-profit missing persons advocacy group, Let's Bring Them Home.
 
"We have watched the one year mark come and go," explains LaDonna Meredith, Executive Director of the Foundation, "and despite even the best efforts, Clinton is still missing.  In light of the circumstances, our organization is launching a large reward for Nelson's recovery."
 
Let's Bring Them Home is offering a $75,000 reward for the recovery of Clinton Nelson and the arrest and conviction of those responsible for his disappearance.
 
The group is also offering a separate $5,000 reward for any new information that leads to the recovery of Clinton Nelson or any of his personal belongings known to have been his person on September 1, 2006.
 
"We know that someone, somewhere knows exactly what happened to Clinton.  And we know that money talks.  So in essence, we have given anyone with information on Clinton's disappearance 75,000 reasons to come forward.  We need to find Clinton."
 
The reward(s) are good from October 1st, 2007 through January 1, 2008. 
 
"Once the reward expires," explains Meredith, "it will never be raised again.  If someone has information, now is the best time to come forward."
 
If you have information regarding Clinton Devon Nelson, please call 1-866-479-5284 or visit www.letsbringthemhome.org.

Great News Carolyn  on "Let's Bring Them Home"

I went through the CTV thread on Naomi Arnette and found out that  Adams Outdoor Advertising donated Naomi's signs.   They do not have a company in LA   :sad: but maybe they can still help you get in contact with some people more willing to help.

Excellent News!!!!!!!

Old F....
I check with the link above...the won't list Clinton's case as he is an adult.  They said the only people listed are children or were at the time of the disappearance.

As far as other sites...Clinton is listed on www.theyaremissed.org, www.texasequusearch.org, www.letsbringthemhome.org, www.blogsfornatalee.com, truckingboards.com, and I am sure there are others that I am forgetting.  Thanks for your help.

hi Carolyn,
I hope that LBTH will do something toward getting you an answer, the reward I mean.

I didn't mean to say that it wasn't ok for you post an email address, but I did want to save you from what can be the ugly side of the net. Everyone can read here... I am probably too overproctective sometimes....


Keeping you in my prayers for resolution

Hi Carolyn,
I'm glad to see the reward go up. Should motivate someone to act or get nervous. As with everyone here, are prayers are always with you.

Carolyn -- I want to say how sorry I am that this is happening to you and your son.

And I want to thank you for sharing this deeply personal tragedy.

Moms like you and Beth Holloway and Gloria (and unfortunatley countless others) -- who will stop at nothing to find their child -- who have nothing to fear because you feel that you have already experienced the worst -- make if difficult (impossible, really) for compassionate people to turn their head away.

From 'it could never happen to me or anyone I know' to 'here is the ugly truth in the raw from someone who is living the hell' is beyond compelling. Heartbreaking.

My shed tears for you every day -- even as you grow stronger every day. I can read that in your posts.

Ah, if only I could make wishes come true, Clinton would be home. And so would every other missing person.

Prayers for your continued strength Carolyn. And Clinton -- you are remembered.

Carolyn, I couldn't have said it better than Sharon already did.  You remain in my prayers.  Never give up.  Never give in.

Sharon,
I think this has to be one of the sweetest posts I have seen!  Thank you....it is very unfortunate that this is reality for us and so many other thousands of families.  I too was oblivious prior to this happening. 

No matter what the outcome...I will stay involved in some capacity to help promote the issues that families of the missing face!  It should not be this way and laws need to change to prevent the epidemic from continuing.  Law Enforcement must take these situations seriously and they must start listening when families say there is something wrong and investigate right away not waiting for the person to turn up. 

Thanks again.

Carolyn Johnson

HAUGHTON — The reward for information about a man who went missing more than a year ago has increased to $87,500.

Let's Bring Them Home, a national nonprofit missing persons advocacy group, is offering $75,000 in the case of Clinton Devon Nelson, who would have been 22 on Aug. 9. He was last seen Sept. 1, 2006, leaving a Princeton area home on Ward Lane.

 
The reward is available only until Jan. 1.

"What we really want to get across is that we don't want anybody holding out hoping there's going to be another increase in the reward." said LaDonna Meredith, executive director of Let's Bring Them Home. "This is it."

The group will even give $5,000 to someone who can help authorities find some of Nelson's belongings from the night he went missing.

And the nonprofit's money is offered in addition to $12,500 offered by Nelson's family and supporters.

"We know that there are probably at least one if not more people that know what happened to Clinton," his mother, Carolyn Johnson, said Wednesday in a telephone interview. "This is their chance to come forward and do the right thing and let us bring him home where he belongs."

Nelson moved from Spearfish, S.D., where his mother lives, to Haughton before he went missing.

The reward money is the largest offer Bossier sheriff's spokesman Ed Baswell said he has seen for a missing person case. Meredith said it is the second largest her organization has footed.

The sheriff's office has investigated 10-15 leads since last year, Baswell said, but to no result.

Deputies were told Nelson was dropped off in a vehicle at a house party. He left on foot, and that is one of the few details investigators know.

"Why he was walking away — that's one of the mysteries," Baswell said. "We don't really understand where he would've been headed, what he would've been doing, what he had on his mind at that particular time."

Friends who were at the party have consistently told similar stories but not enough help, Baswell said.

What makes detectives think foul play could be involved is that Nelson did not pick up a $2,000 paycheck. But deputies are not sure why someone may have wanted to hurt him.

"Nothing in our investigation indicates that he had had any sort of disagreement with anybody — no known enemies," Baswell said.

Hi Carolyn,

Please, keep in the mind after a tip money is raises,
that not all time a high impact on solving an indictable offence. But it is all time to try!
It is important to know, that tip money/rewards just quiff cherry been, for that people go talk about an offence. And when there is come a good tip, believe me, that police goes track and trace the tip person his contacts, and in all the facts, tell the police about suspects-witness contacts. Whereas the opposite is proved.

And I think when there is no and never any track and trace, traced by the police, and that a case can be solved by a witness, I think that must be a God present. That a case can be solved.
Because many crimes been not solved, and the most are also never solved, just only when they have the right and good person that work, with the police in crimes.

And IMO, a tip that people in an anonymous letter send, that goes about them heart and not for the money, and when somebody bring information to the police, only just when there is a reward, the tip person has right on the reward.

And I am sure, when there is a person, that has information, he or she want help somebody of this heart. Also when there is no reward on it.
Look to the Carrie Culberson, no reward but I am sure somebody want help the FBI to located her car with her body in car.

God bless your family, and he want give your family the faith to find your son.

Thanks NYC...I agree.  We will not find Clinton until God is ready for us to find Clinton.  I have faith in God so I must believe we will eventually know what has happend to my son.  However, I do believe that there is someone that know what happened and where Clinton is...Yes it would have been nice for people to come forward because that is the right thing to do...but since that is not the case....I will settle for paying for the information to get my son back.  If there is someone that is afraid of the situation they are in and don't feel that they can get away without money....this is the way to get free of the problems that have controlled their life.  My goal is not to cause problems for anyone but simply to get my son back and no one way or another.  The reward is for a limited time, so I guess we will know if this will work to get the information we need in the next couple of months.

Take Care.

Your are welcome. It is good to believe in God. I am sure, he want give u very much strong to find your son, and never to give up. I understand all what u mean, and I am sure when there is a witness that something knows, about the missing of Clinton, I think he or she want talk a time. In all the case there is a witness need for to talking what there is happened. Because a suspect(s) want never talk, just only when there is many proof to bring him to the jail. And sometimes want they then also not talk.

NYC_Lover
You bring up some good points.  From what I have heard this is weighing on the person we think is responsible.  I am just hoping this kind of money is enough to either get him or someone else who was there or knows what happened to come forward.  I refuse to believe that the people that know what happened to my son are not capable of feeling guilt, pain, remorse, or regret.  I think they are people that made a bad choice and I hope and pray that they will find some kind of empathy in their hearts and do the right thing!

Take Care.
Carolyn

No Problem Carolyn, it is just that I want bring to u, one good point and tracks to found out, what there could be happened and where Clinton can good be. It is very and very good to believe in God and what kind of God can bring in the live. I believe in God, and the nature and facts around God his special world.

I am glad u talk about this, I refuse to believe that the people that know what happened to my son are not capable of feeling guilt, pain, remorse, or regret.  I think they are people that made a bad choice and I hope and pray that they will find some kind of empathy in their hearts and do the right thing!

I have talk to somebody and speak to somebody about this. I am glad u talks about this. It is a hard topic for u to talking about, I know. But the question about, Why killed somebody a person? Is become more clearly with the day in my researches.
Please, believe me. This is what killers or kidnappers don't have feeling guilt, pain, remorse, or regret. I feel sorry to see, but it is the truth.

Not all assassination cases been committed on intentionally councils. But when it is not on committed on intentionally councils happened.
That is just IMO what happened with Clinton.

Thanks for your thoughtfulness Muffybee...it is greatly appreciated!

CJ

carolyn,

Couple of questions if you don't mind:

Where is Ward 1?

Is that up near Shrevport, LA?

Is this church in the area of Princeton, LA?

(http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/8027/clintonie1.jpg)


Do you have any pictures of the house Clinton was last seen at?
Or the area, roads etc?

Hello Carolyn,

My prayers are still for you and your family. God Bless you.

it's me,

sparrow

Yes this is the church and yes it is near Shreveport. The house that Clinton was last seen is right across the highway and down on Ward lane from this church.  I don't have a photo of the house.  There is a map and an airiel photo that shows the location Clinton was last seen.  Let me know if you have any other questions.  How did you get a photo of the church? 

Thanks
Carolyn

LOL - Sparrow you never cease to amaze me....you are the sweetest Sparrow I have have met!  Take Care!

CJ

Hey everyone...I don't know anything for sure and it may be nothing in the end but there is a lead that is being followed by LE in Louisiana...say your prayers that this is the break we have been waiting for!  I don't know if we will know anything until later this week!  I will keep you posted.

Take Care,
CJ

Kermit - I don't know where ward 1 is....why do you ask?

Take Care.

CJ

Will do Carolyn!!!!!!! My fingers are crossed,candle is lit and You and Clinton are in my thoughts and prayers..

Thanks *******.  I appreciate it. 

CJ

Kermit...FYI this church is where we held the candle light vigil for Clinton on September 1, 2007. 

Thanks
CJ

Carolyn...I'm so hoping that this is the break you have been waiting for. Have lit a candle for Clinton in hope that your prayers are finally answered.

Carolyn,

Thank you for your response.

I was doing some research on your case is how I found the picture.


Another question,

Were there any meetings or services in that church on Friday, Sept 1, 2006?

(http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/6189/mapclintonpd9.jpg)


Did Clinton have a cell phone?

He left at 8:30 pm, it would have still been daylight savings time, so still light out at that hour.

Do you know or have any idea of which route Clinton may have taken, or where he was headed?

Clinton and Gregory look similar.
Gosh, I still feel someone preyed on this young man.

Carolyn,
See if you can find out if there was any meeting or church service at that church the night Clinton went missing.

and if there was - get a list of who attended and if they don't recall, get the members of that church list.

Carolyn, Please know you and Clint remain in my prayers.  I pray there will be a break in this case and you can find some measure of comfort.  My heart breaks for you.  Stay Strong...

We had a candlelight vigil in the parking lot September 1, 2007.  I would not have any way of knowing if there was something there on September 1, 2006.

Thanks
Carolyn

Yes Clinton had a cell.  It has never been found.  If he left the house on foot the assumption is that he would have walked home which was about 9 miles - he was living in Haughton. 

I am not sure this church is the right church.......the location is wrong.

Thanks.
Carolyn

Hi Kermit,

You should read back and see the lies by Jeff and Larry and what Clinton had to say about his step mom. These lies are important clues IMO. He wasnt there to be at a party as he was staying for a day or so because of the problems he had with his father and his wife. He was actually calling for a ride at 8PM that night which tells me he wanted out of there and to go back home..Unfortunately I dont think he was welcome back at home and the threats made against him I take very seriously. My heart tells me that these are the three to look at .. Also keep in mind Clinton had injuries and a few hundred in his pocket so I see it extremely unlikely he would walk 9-10 miles home that night. I think he would have called a cab as a last resort as opposed to walking all that way. If clinton and this other missing young man are connected I think that person is known to Larry,Debbie and Jeff. Innocent people do not lie and refuse Lie Detectors. What Jeff has said about his son makes the hair on my neck stand up  :-|

Kimmy,
I want to thank you for your support.  I too am praying that this will bring answers.

Take Care.

Carolyn

Kermit
I agree that there are a lot of similarities in Clinton's and Gregory's disappearances.  I have brought it up to law enforcement.  However, they are not talking about Greg's disappearance.  I don't know for sure if the church you have the photo of is the same church.  It looks the same but the location you have marked on the map is not right.

I don't know if it is possible for me to get the kind of info you are requesting on the church.  I live in SD and Clinton disappeared in Louisiana.  The church that we had the vigil in, is not manned and they are very difficult to contact.  Let me know what you are thinking and let's figure out if the direction you are heading is the plausible. 

Thanks
Carolyn

(http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/8027/clintonie1.jpg)

Can somebody tell me, where is picture is taken? Street, place and ect.

And what does this mean? Can somebody this explain, what WARD LANE - HOUSE, meant?
(http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/6189/mapclintonpd9.jpg)

NYC_Lover,
The house that Clinton was last seen at was on Ward lane...the church is where the candlelight vigil was held.  However the place marked on this map is not the correct location for the church...I am not sure where Kermit was headed with this.

Kermit can you help???

Thanks
CJ

Hey Everyone....the lead did not pan out.  It sounds as though Larry and Candy are both in the process of being scheduled for a polygraph and it is of their own free will.  I don't know where we go from here....


Carolyn
 :2doh:

Carolyn - thank you, I see on the card now. The places.
Can u tell me, what kind of area this is,
Barksdale Air Force Base?

Thanks for the update and please dont get down..Would be nice to see Jeff and Debbie take a polygraph as well since he has been caught lying..I wonder why Larry refused to take one a year ago but now will do it on his own free will?

*******...Jeff did take one...it was inconclusive.  I have been told that is common with drug users.  I don't know what is going on as far as Larry being willing to take the lie detector test.  Unless it has to do with 13 months of know he is under suspicion and he wants to clear his name.  It sounds like there may be another name that has come up.  I don't know what it is only that he may have been at the house around the time Clinton disappeared and that he moved out of state a week after Clinton disappeared.  I guess LE is checking into it. 

I am very frustrated and upset.  I don't know how to handle this roller coaster ride!  The hard part is that I hate roller coaster or any other ride for that matter! Everytime I think I am resolving myself to the fact that Clinton is dead, something happens and I start questioning everything all over again.  I can't imagine anything that would make Clinton walk away and not let us know he was OK.  If he was using that night, he would have gotten into more trouble, he would have wanted that check, he would have no reason to turn his back on his family, nor can I ever imagine that being a possibility.  But that is a better outcome than him being dead.  This is worse than being caught between a rock and a hard place....I hate it!

Carolyn ~  :smt056  Do not give up hope. 

*******,

I did read the thread from the first page, but I was curious and that is why I asked specific questions that Carolyn graciously answered.  I did like your analysis too. Very well thought out. I just would like to open up all possibilities so that is why I was asking some specific questions is all.


Carolyn,

I agree with *******, I don't think this kid just walked home. He had a cell phone. Called someone most likely or had previously arranged to have someone pick him up. Dogs did not get a hit, that tells us that he most likely got into a vehicle.

The church struck my interest because of it's proximity to the location where Clinton was last seen. A lot of times churches have meetings and I was curious if there was a meeting on Sept 1 - because there are 2 roads from that location and someone could have come by the same area as Clinton was let's say walking, if he walked.

I tend to lean towards from what I've gathered about the background of the father is he may have had something to do with drugs with this Larry guy and that could be why he is not that forthcoming with information. Trying to protect himself.

Clinton had hopes of moving in with his father. His desire seems to be from a need to get to know his father. That tells me that this kid did not just take off of his own free will. He had money to move out on his own, had he needed too, but seems to be wanting to move in with the father. Only reason a kid like that would stay with Larry is because things at home were upsetting him. Seems like someone made him feel he could come home.  Otherwise, why not stay and party and then go home. Something made Clinton leave.

Seems like the father is ruled out as having to come pick him up. The police are not even looking at the wife. Maybe she has an alibi.

That leaves me to speculate - someone driving along the road - offers a lift to Clinton. This someone could be the perpetrator and Clinton could still be out there somewhere. This location is not that far from the Texas border either. With the information that another boy similar in age and appearance to Clinton disappeared in that area - leads me to believe there is a perp still out there. We need to catch this person.

Have the Texas officials been notified too?

Are you sure that the injuries to Clinton were a result of work-related injury?

I would really like to know who was at that church if possible? Maybe even who works at the church - and Carolyn check thse backgrounds if you can get some names. Don't dismiss anyone is what I'm telling you.

How are you doing with getting publicity on this?

There are no words that I can offer to you that will be of comfort or stop the pain of what you are going through.
So I won't wishy wash you. Truth is - lean on your faith. And let that be your comfort for now. Let your gut feeling be your guide and do not in any way brush it aside. Trust your instincts. And write down, keep a log of everything you remember. NO matter how trivial.

Let's hope we can get some answers for you.

Hi Carolyn...I'm so sorry to hear the lead didn't pan out. On the up side it seems like there is some activity in Clinton's case.

My heart was aching for you reading your post. As Muffy said, don't give up hope. I'm praying you get your answers,Carolyn.

Kermit - OK I see what you are thinking.  I do agree with you on Gregory Alonzo Vice Jr.  I have wondered if the two cases are related.  LaDonna and I from Let's Bring Them Home have been researching "The Dead Zone" - that area between Shreveport and Houston. Trying to come up with a connection on many of the cases in this area.  The odd part is there are about 9 or 10 cases of missing people within a 15 mile radius or so.  I don't know if there is a connection or if it is coincidence because Shreveport is a big area.

The problem that we are facing on finding out about meetings at churches - it has been 13 months since Clinton disappeared.  We are to a point now that even if someone saw him walking they may not remember it.  I will see if I can find out though.  As far as publicity....we have gotten coverage in Louisiana and South Dakota.  I have not been able to get any national coverage. 

I know that LE has followed leads into Texas and Clinton worked in Texas.  But so far that has not lead to any information on Clinton or his whereabouts.  Yes I am sure Clinton received his injuries at work.  I have spoken to his boss and law enforcement has spoken to the hospital.

You got it right about Clinton wanting to know Jeff and spend time with him.  He could afford to live on his own but he wanted that connection with Jeff to grow.  He needed to bond with his father that is why he went down there in the first place.

Thanks
CJ

Good Morning Carolyn..How are you doing today? Lets keep those emails going people!!! Persistence will pay off!!!

*******....I don't know right now!  I am at a complete loss...I spoke to LE...I think lie detectors are being done today on Candy and Larry.  If they pass they are prepaired to clear them as suspects.  There is a new person of interest...don't have all of the details.   


Mum and Muffey - thank you.  You are both sweet and I appreciate the support.

NYC_Lover - Barksdale is an airforce base the area surrounding that is very complex, bogs, marshes, swamps, trees, lots of culverts, hills, etc.

Thanks
Carolyn

Carolyn,

contact me through Klassend

Carolyn - you can email me at smklaas@hotmail.com  (my klaasend@scaredmonkeys.com isn't working right now)

Done...

Thanks
CJ

Appreciate you keeping us in the loop as I know this all very difficult for you and I wish I was there to give you a big hug. I have been thinking alot about Clinton lately and thinking over and over again in my mind what could have happened that night and wishing I was there that night to protect him. He really does remind me alot of myself and I will never give up and your determination inspires me. I really wish I could do more as I would absolutely love to talk to Jeff Man to Man. Someone needs to talk to him as this is never ever going away. As of right now he looks like a lying SOB and its up to him to clear his name and help find his Son. Looks to me like he is doing neither.

I am glad to hear the Investigation is active and that they have a new person of interest.I really believe that our theories are correct and I pray that this is all over quickly and he is found.  Of course more than anything I am praying for a miracle and that Clinton will be able to hold his Son that he has never seen. As far as Larry and Candy go it sounds like they are gonna hang themselves or be true to their word and prove there innocense.. Easier said then done as it doesnt appear that they are not skillfull liars like Jeff who also needs to be questioned again along with his wife. They all need to know this is never going away and the spotlight is just beginning to shine on them.

Never give up, Carolyn.  You remain in my prayers. 

Thanks Peaches and *******.

I am not sure what to think of where the current lead is going....this is make me feel very anxious.  I have not heard if the polygraphs have been completed or if they have made contact with the new "person of interest". 

Thanks
Carolyn

Carolyn ~    Do not give up hope.   :smt056 ~ Muffy

{{{{{hugs}}}}} for Carolyn.  Stay the course Carolyn and find your boy.  I'm sorry this is so hard, and I can't imagine being in your place.  I encourage you to continue to fight the good fight.  If you don't fight for Clinton, I don't know who will. Same thing for all of us parents who try to help their children when they are in need.  So much more so in your case.  And it has to be hard, because you have little or no control over the investigation or what is going on.  I encourage you to stay with it. 

Thanks Sharon, Muffy & Peaches.
I appreciate all of you and of course all of those not named as well!  I am not giving up.  I won't ever give up!  It does get frustrating and really hard sometimes....but I won't stop until I find my son and what has happened to him.  Thank you for the encouragement....it does help!

Carolyn

Dearest Carolyn,

I've been thinking since my last post to you.  I don't believe you would give up on Clinton -EVER.  When folks say  don't give up, we don't really think you will just stop.   I think it's just our way of trying to say STAY STRONG when you feel yourself wavering under the heavy burden you carry in your heart for your missing son.  Think of many pairs of monkey hands lifting up that burden with you.   :smt056

http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=147.msg290100#msg290100

Well Here Goes....Candy and Larry have taken a polygraph and both passed.  Law enforcement believes that they are telling the truth.  The don't know what happened once Clinton left that house.  They have also spoken to Jeff and Debbie and believe that they are being honest.  This means we are back to the complete unknown.  Either Clinton was able to get a ride with someone and is still alive or he got a ride and something happened by someone completely unknown, or he tried to walk home and something happened on the way home ie - some kind of accident, or intentional harm from some unknown person. 

There is talk about doing another search but I have no idea if and when that will happen at this point. 

I am at a loss as to where to go from here....

Thanks

Carolyn Johnson

Muffy,
I know this....I know that it has always been meant as support.  It is always appreciated.

Take Care
Carolyn

Thank you. But marshes, swamps and trees with (in) crocodiles?

I am so sorry Carolyn  :-? Are they asking Debbie and Jeff about the Argument they had before he vanished,The threat Debbie made against Clinton and The lies that Jeff has told? Why he thinks Clinton started a new life? If I was LE I would be completely focuing in on them but I am not privy to there info..Hook Debbie and Jeff up to a polygraph!!!!!

Please stay strong as it appears they are actively investigating what happened to Clinton and even appear to have a new lead. Maybee it is possible there is a unknown person involved or better yet somehow clinton has some type of amnesia and is out there somewhere!

Big Hugs!!

Yes there are alligators in Louisiana.  Thanks.

Carolyn

NYC I know you are trying to help,but please be more carefull and more sensitive what you say to Family members that are missing a loved one..

Thx,
*******

Carolyn, I'm so sorry as well. I agree with ******* that there at least appears to be some activity in the case. Please stay strong.

I've printed out some of the poster's from the TES site and will put some around  Texas, in the Austin area, and can send some to friends in the Houston area and etc.  I know he was missing from Louisiana, but Texas isn't that far away.  And some of the places I want to put up the posters are very popular among young people.  He may have headed this way or someone may have seen him.  I think it's worth a try.  All I'm out is some paper and ink, a few stamps.  I feel like I have to do something.  I keep thinking about if Clinton were my son...I've sent out emails, but I want to try some of the posters.

Muffy...thank you so much.  If Clinton were did leave Louisiana, I would think Texas would be an easy place to get lost if you wanted to.  I think your idea is a great one! I don't think I can ever repay your kindness!  Take Care.

Carolyn Johnson

Muffy you are a Angel and its a good idea :smt052  Houston is the 4th largest city in the U.S. and it sure would be easy to get lost there.

Texas is a big place.  A person could work on a farm or ranch or a fishing/shrimp boat and live there too, staying out of the limelight. Lots of possibilities if Clinton wanted to keep a low profile, if in fact he felt threatened.  I'll try to get some posters out into some areas where I have contacts. 

The TES posters print out really well, but they only have the $12,500.00 reward on them.  The reward for $87,500.00 is much more enticing, which is in the Shreveport Times article.  I printed the article out, but it ended up sideways and hard to read.  Will see what I can do to get a decent poster put together that is printable and have the much bigger reward.  And of course, the link for letsbringthemhome.com.  Unless I draw a ling through the $12,500.00 and put the $87,500.00 and add the link .  I wonder if that is alright?  I just gotta say, the TES poster is easy to see all the pertinent info, and the photo is good. 

The $87500 is good only until January 1 then it goes back to $12500. 

Muffy,
I hope you know how much I appreciate you.  Take Care.

Muffy,
Thank you so much for posting the link to the candles and for the tag line.....you are a sweetheart and I really appreciate all that you are doing!  I know that I will never be able to repay your kindness, but I will never forget it!  Take Care.

Carolyn Johnson

YW Carolyn.  Clinton could be anyone's son...just as Natalee could have been anyone's daughter.  It seems these things always happen to someone else, until it happens to you.  That's what I think.  It's hard to predict life.  I've printed and put up some of Clinton's TES posters and mailed some to friends & relatives earlier today, so some should start going up in Dallas, Austin, Tyler,  Houston and Waco.  I am trying to see if I can find a contact in the Corpus Christi area, which is a place young people like to go-easy to hang out.  Good weather. 

Muffy......you are a Godsend!  Thank You so much.

Carolyn

Carolyn, let us know if we can do anything to help you ... contacting TES, whatever...

we will stick with you until you find out what happened, I don't always post but I do read and say prayers for Clinton's safe return

Mrs. Red...Thank you....I appreciate it!  I will keep everyone posted if anything develops....

Take Care.
Carolyn Johnson

OK...as of now no update on the leads - LE is still working on it but it may be a while.  I have been in contact with Texas Equu Search and we will probably try to do a search sometime after the first of the year.  Maybe the second or third week of January.  Cindy mentioned that she wanted to get as many people as possible...100 or more to search as it is such a large area.  For those of you in the Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana area....if you are available, tentatively mark your calendars if you can or want to help.  I will give you an update when I know more.  :smt009

Take Care.

Carolyn

Great news about TES!

Hello Carolyn,
do u know, comes Glorida again back here?
Because, I want ask her some questions.

Thank you.

I am not sure...I will tell her again.  I know she is pretty busy planning a search for April in November.  I will check and get back to you.

Thanks
Carolyn

Ok, I understand about the search. Thank you.

Great news Carolyn!! I know Clinton must be very proud of the great effort you are giving to find him.

BUMP

Keep them lit

Sharon,
Thank You.

Carolyn

Carolyn...does this mean that there are more new leads other than the one that didn't pan out? Great news about TES. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Stay Strong, Carolyn

*******, I hope you are right...everything seems to have come to a screeching halt!  Take Care,
Carolyn

Mum....
Yes there was another lead that they are following.  I am not sure if it is going to turn into anything.  So far we can't find a single person that admits to having seen Clinton after 10pm and Jeff is the last person that we know of that spoke to him by phone.  I am really frustrated.  Take Care and thanks for the support!

Carolyn

No doubt in my mind that clinton is very proud you!! He's a great kid and it's time that some others step up to the plate for him. Would be nice if that someone was a Reporter or a member of Law Enforcement. I know things are slow right now and some days are really tough :( Please keep your head up and don't give up!!  I know if anyone of us were missing that Clinton is exactly the type of person that would be fighting to find us!!

Carolyn...Stay strong,my thoughts are with you. Any more news on the TES search? Please keep us updated.

BUMP

Keep them lit

Thanks Sharon!  I appreciate your efforts!

Carolyn

Hi Carolyn..I just left a question in the TES search thread asking if you have an area that is planned to be searched. TIA

MumInOhio - we will be searching from Princeton - Ward Lane all the way to the Haughton area if necessary - it is about a 15 mile stretch.  Is this what you are looking for?


Thanks
Carolyn

Yes..Thank You Carolyn..I'm not familar at all with the area so will read up on it.
Thanks again.

Doing my part.  Praying for you, Carolyn.  You and Clinton are never far from my thoughts. 

Thanks Peaches - I appreciate it.  Take Care.

CJ

I read your posts at BFN Carolyn and no question in my mind that Clinton is a kind soul and a good person and if he did pass then he is most definetly in heaven. I lost my mother long ago as a kid and I know for sure we will meet and hold each other again. Hope is a great thing and I pray everyday that he is found and is well.

You really haven't told me a lot about him but from what you have told and seeing his pictures I feel I know him well. Is there a song we can tribute to Clinton?? Natalee's song is Sweet Home Alabama and I think it suits her well.

******* I too would like to know if there is a song we can tribute to Clinton, if Carolyn agrees and knows one that would be a good one for Clinton.  I pray Clinton can come home soon. 

Candles to light Clinton's way back home to his Mom:

http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=CLINT

There are actually about two or three song that either my family or myself are now associating with Clinton and his disappearance. 

The first one is "He's my son" by Mark Shultz....This song was a song that I first heard when Clinton was a teenager.  We were going through what I thought, were really hard times and I immediately thought this song fit Clinton and the situation.  It seems to fit even more now.

The second is "Going Home" by Chris Daughtery.  This song was played at the candle light vigil for Clinton.

I am trying to find out the name and artist of the last song. 

Thanks

Carolyn

Thanks Muffy and *******.

Carolyn

Thanks everyone.....I appreciate all of you. 

I spoke to Detective Owens today....leads seems to have dried up.  He is anxious for the search in January.  He said he wants to do a grid by grid search.  I also spoke to Cindy at TES - she said that is what will be done.  They both feel that we will have to be checking places a person could hide or fit into.  Culverts, caves, etc.  Detective Owens also mentioned that he has worked in excess of 100 missing persons cases...he said in every case there has been a "blood foot print"....some kind of clues that told them what happened and at least pointed in the direction of someone responsible.  He said Clinton's case is the first one he can think of where they have nothing.  No direction as to where he is or what happened.  He said he is looking forward to the search....he believes there is at least a 50% chance Clinton will be with in a short distance from Larry's house on Ward Lane.

Dear Carolyn - have you considered that the lack of 'evidence' or 'clues' is THE evidence?

-->>meaning that someone has carefully crafted an alibi and just a seemingly 'missing' person?.?.?.?

I do not know all of the specifics of the case, but unless this is the case of someone who may have fallen into a well, the perpetrator may be the first or second person the police spoke to... this person may seem to have no motive and an airtight alibi...when in fact the motive has no yet been discovered and the alibi is no alibi at all...

anyway . . . just a thought . . .

Carolyn, I don't post here often, but I do read and pray you find Clinton.  I truly hope the search is successful. 

The last song is "Float On" by Modest Mouse......

Thanks
Carolyn

Carolyn...I am so sorry to hear that the leads did not pan out :sad: Hoping and praying that the new search will bring you answers.

Kermit
I just listened to this song.....oh I wish this song were true!  I love the song and it really does fit.  Thanks for sharing it with me.

Thank you for whoever did the picture of Clinton....I love it!  Although it does make me very sad...I am dreading the holidays.  Take Care.

Carolyn

Kermit....I think my husband agrees with you.  The original suspect has been cleared by taking a lie detector test, however my husband is not convinced.....

Thanks
Carolyn

I just saw this post....I love the avatar!  Thank you for your thoughtfulness. 

Take Care.

Carolyn

Thanks Mum....I am also hoping the search will bring answers.  Take Care.

Thanks Muffy.

Have faith, Carolyn. 

An acquaintence of mine works for the Bossier Sheriff's Dept.  I asked for his thoughts, etc. re Clinton's case.  He indicated he would re-familiarize himself with the case and let me know if anything comes up.       

On a hopeful note, my friend had this to say:   "Our detectives are very diligent, and they have a case clearance rate that, according to the FBI, is three times the national average."

Do not despair.  God is on your side as are we.

Hugs, Carolyn.

Thanks Peaches....I am anxious to hear what your friend has to say.

Carolyn

You and Clinton are still in my thoughts and prayers.

Ah Miss Jamie is too sweet.
Miss her too.

Thanks Muffybee.....

I appreciate all of your efforts!

Carolyn

Carolyn ~  You are very welcome.  I am still printing posters and  have been putting some up  in the Austin area , particularly targeting the University of Texas area and Sixth Street and have sent some to Waco, Houston, Tyler, Huntsville and  Dallas.  I am still hoping to find a contact to get some posters up in the Corpus Christi area. 

   

Muffy,
If you want I can print the poster and mail them to you.  It might help to keep the cost down.  Thank you very much for what you are doing.  Take Care.

Carolyn

Carolyn ~    Thank you, but I'm fine with printing the posters and some of the folks that are helping put them up have printed their own from the link.

OldF ~ I believe it  was ******* who initially set up Clinton's candles.  Several monkeys have been moving the candles through the thread to aid in the lighting of Clinton's candles so he can see his way home.  I pray he can come home soon, for his sake and that of his mother, Carolyn. 

Muffy, *******, and all of you who light candles and say prayers for Clinton and our family, I just wanted to tell you thank you very much! 

Take Care.

Thanks for the candle link.

Thanks PDH and OldFart.

Carolyn, you and your son Clinton are in my heart and prayers this evening.
Don't lose hope.

My thoughts and prayers are with You,Clinton and the rest of your Family......Hope you have a Great Thanksgiving !!

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family today as always, Carolyn.

I too have had thoughts of you and Gloria today. Take care.

Nut44x4, MumInOhio, *******, and Kermit,
Thank you for your thoughtfulness.  I made it through Thanksgiving without any drama and almost without tears.  I appreciate your kind words and your kindness warms my heart!  I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.

Take Care.
Carolyn, Ross, and Tarah

Carolyn
I often just come by this thread to read and I wonder where your amazing strength comes from.  You continue to be in my prayers...we haven't forgotten.

Lala's Mom,
You are so sweet!  Thank you for not forgetting...my grandson and my daughter (not to mention my husband and I) need to know what happened to Clinton.  Whatever happened that night....he did not deserve it.  I won't/can't rest until I find my son.  I guess that is where the strength is coming from...my son, daughter, grandson, and husband.  Take care!  I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving.

Carolyn

Carolyn - I can understand, u don't get rest until your find your son. I think the strenght is come from your family, but I think the great strong soon is come from the Father God. I am sure God is proud about u.
I want take a prayer on the search day. And I want talk to God for to ask him, for helping u to find your son. I hope he want give an answer in the name of that they have find your son soon. Amen

NYC_Lover,
Thank you for your prayers.  I agree with what you are saying...I don't know what I would do if I did not believe it was possible for me to see Clinton in heaven someday.  My faith in God has been tested but my faith is still there and I know God will use this whole situation somehow, to help someone else!  I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

Carolyn

Your connection with Clinton is so strong and I just feel he will be found.
Hang in there.

Kermit - I really hope you are right!  I would prefer for him to be alive but if he is dead, I just want to know.....

Take Care.

Carolyn

Carolyn - We're all praying that you get the answers you need. I cannot imagine what you have been going through. Please know that we are here to support you in any way we can. Stay strong, and don't give up hope. We'll be right here for you, until you find out where your son is, as long as it takes.

Carolyn, thinking of you and praying for answers.  I think of you and Gloria and your children and Beth and Natalee and it has changed me.  The way I parent is evolving because I have seen you and Gloria and Beth and so many more unfortunately who just want one more minute with their child.  The not knowing has to be driving you crazy.  It's making me crazy!  So I will follow your journey with you and pray for your strength in this time of struggle.  I am holding onto the fact that God knows the answer.  He knows our hearts and our concerns.  And above all else, Clinton is God's child too.  Wherever Clinton is, there He is also.  Just because we don't know all the answers doesn't mean that God doesn't have this all worked out already.  I have to believe He does.  For you and Clinton, for me, Gloria, April, Beth, Natalee, for us all, He has it all under control.  He has brought us together here for a reason.  To love and support and encourage one another.  I believe that sincerely.

Carolyn

Hey everyone - Angelala wrote this for me.  I wanted to share it with you as it is as if she read my heart and mind. 

Carolyn

very nice words and so true...gave me goosebumps.

Carolyn, thank you for sharing Angelala's writings with us. 

MuffyBee, You are welcome.  Nut44x4 - I am glad you liked it.  I agree with you it gave me goosebumps as well.

Carolyn

And you deserve to know the truth.
Clinton did not just vanish into thin air.
Somebody knows something.
We just have to keep the heat on.

Kermit I agree....the hard part now is I don't think the heat is on.....
I know that someone has to know something....at this point I don't know how to turn up the flames.

Carolyn

I have no adequate words to say to any mother of a missing child...other than my heart bleeds for you and my prayers go out for you and your pain.....I am so sorry.....

Carolyn - You are welcome. The faith with the Father God want remain and the spirits of God want keep in the remind, the strong for to finding from your son. Please, believe your son is in the hands of the Angels of God. And the Angels watch concerning the missing persons. They Angels want let him gone, when his case is solved. And his spirit can make himself ready for a reincarnation, for come back in his world.
I have spoken to fathers and mothers of missing children, on the internet (by myspace or the email) and in my life, but u and your family need justice. And I hope the Father God want listen to my prayers. But I am sure, God want. I have pray for many cases, that all been solved. That all cases were, where I don't have research have done, and just only make a pray.
Well I have no idea, what Thanksgiving exact is. But I know it's a celebrity day for the American people. I hope u has a good and wonderful Thanksgiving.

Carolyn.....thanks for sharing Angelala's poem. Praying that the search will bring you and your family the answers you need.

Thank you SunnyinTX....I appreciate your prayers and kindness.

Here are my needs....
We have to raise money to cover the costs associated with the search.  Let's Bring Them Home is taking financial donations to help with the search expenses (it will be tax deductible).  I need you to come up with any fund raising ideas in your local area to raise money or if you can or are willing to donate, please do so.  My understanding is that all donations that LBTH receives during this period before the search will go to offset the costs for the searchers.

http://www.letsbringthemhome.org/
click on "financially supporting our program"
This will launch a secure pay pal site

We also need some volunteers to help with organizing everything
Flyers to get volunteers to help with the search,
Food, Places to stay, Permission from Land Owners etc.

Angela has generously stepped up to help organize this and she is the person to go to on this her contact is for_clinton@harenza.com

I am not used to asking for help!  Asking for this kind of help is very difficult for me, however, I NEED to find my son and I don't have the finaces to cover these expenses by myself.  In addition we have a short period of time to pull everything together. I REALLY need your help - no donation is too small! 

If you are not able to help financially or physically, please pray that whatever is need to make this search happen comes in!  Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Carolyn,

I have numerous ideas that could really help you with volunteers/cost for your search.  I am a Community Organizer for a large corporation who has mandates on donations/volunteers/etc. per quarter.  Usually, the community organizer's have to come up with projects on their own to fulfill these mandates. The company is known for having a very dedicated Corporate Responsibility policy. I live in NJ, however, I am sure there are locations near you (there are locations worldwide) that would be able to help.  I have been debating back and forth whether to contact you b/c I do not want to through my personal, nor my company's, info out there.  I attempted to go to the website you provided but cannot seem to navigate to where I can help. But I see your genuine posts everyday, not only here, but all over scaredmonkeys.  I am not sure how I can speak with you privately, but I would really love to help.  I am a monkies junkie and this is somewhat my passion.  Please let me know if I can be of assistance.

 carolyn,
   morning..hope you are doing well today..I have been told you have been having a little of a hard time. I am always here Carolyn, and hope that no matter what happens you will always feel free to call me. We Mom's need one another. It truly helps.
i plan to go on the search for Clinton. Do you have dates set yet? How are the donations coming? i pray very well.I will try to have a yardsale to help out. I am also asking my company to donate some cases of water.
Do we have dates yet? As you know my best friend has cancer, and both her surgeries will be in Jan. and I want to be there too. She is not far from where Clinton is missing. I am not going to get the girls this Christmas, so I can be with Ami and help with Clinton's search.
Alabamamom makes beautiful flyers, and will for Clinton. Just tell her what you need it to say. She is such a sweetheart.
Angela, and everybody is doing a wonderful job. All these people are angels sent to us from the Lord.
I hope you have a great day. You have come so far since our first talk. I am so proud of your growth, and as I said before...I know Clinton is so very proud of you. We will find Clinton,April, and Natalee...or die in our efforts. I also realize that it is a very strong possibility we will find out what happened to our kids,only. We will be with our children again "forever" and that is what we need to think of each day as we begin another day of the "journey"
   I love ya,Gloria

I found this on the BFN web site... in Nelson 'sThread

LetsBringThemHome  web site   http://www.letsbringthemhome.org/

Hope this helps

Oldfart I got your email this morning.  I'm going to be making some phone calls tomm.  I have an idea.  Possibly I can reach over 4600 franchises, but I'm going to need some help from our regional office.  Hopefully not only will I be able to get donations for Clinton's search, but also people to help search.  I know time is of importance so hopefully we can pull this off in time.

Carolyn  help is on the way.

Carolyn  how close is Princeton to Shreveport?

Hi snoopy...not Carolyn but...14 miles according to ask.com

Thank you Mum.  That's really close.  Good.

I am looking forward to talking to you....I have set up an email specifically for the search.  The email address is find-clinton@hotmail.com

Moderators is that ok?

Thanks
Carolyn

Thank you my friend.  I appreciate the support.  I also appreciate you checking with your company - and doing garage sales.  You are wonderful.  Please make sure you are taking care of yourself.  Keep me posted and I would love it is Alabamamom wants to do a poster.  I think the immediate need now is seeking donations -does she want to do one for that for now that can be edited later depending on what we are trying to accomplish.  That would be a big help.

Thanks
Carolyn

Thanks Snoopy, Thanks Mum.
Here is an email address you can use to contact me if you need or want to. It is specifically for the search.

find-clinton@hotmail.com

thanks
Carolyn

Gloria the dates are January 18, 19, 20, I know there are 8 or 10 people that have sent donations so far, thanks everyone!  I am not sure on the total because some are being mailed and I am not sure on the amounts....

Thanks
Carolyn

Hey everyone - Gloria posted these fundraising ideas on BFN - I thought I would post them here also.

Thanks Gloria, Thanks everyone for your help.

Carolyn

Oldfart and Snoopy....THANKS!  I appreciate what both of you are doing!

Carolyn

NYC_Lover,
I missed your post.  I am so sorry.  I am looking forward to talking to you....I have set up an email specifically for the search.  The email address is find-clinton@hotmail.com



Thanks
Carolyn

Hi Carolyn...will send you an email at the above address in an hour or so.

I got it thanks - I am responding now.

Carolyn

I am posting this again as there is a new email address for me since there have been some problems with the other email.  Thanks

Carolyn

Carolyn - No problem and please don't feel sorry. I want taking contacting with u soon.

Here's another idea.  We all have contacts in our email.  Send each person a letter.  Give them links to this site, TES, and lets bring them home.  Together we can make a difference.

Hey everyone....is there anyone out there that is good a designing flyers....we need one that for right now tells about Clinton and the upcoming search but one that can be sent out to people to try and get donations.  The goal is to have one that can be easily adapted to whatever the need or situation is.

Also, I have tried to get an email list together and I sent out an email to everyone (I think) that I have spoken to by email about helping in anyway with the upcoming search.  If I have missed anyone, please email me at find-clinton@hotmail.com.

Thanks again for your help.

Carolyn

Hey everyone,
Kermit was kind enough to do this you tube video...

What do you think.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z8oV8lfuLE
Carolyn

He did a good job and it's great to see more of Clinton :) Is Clinton a Vikings fan?

*******,
He liked to watch the Vickings games with his Uncle Mike.  He would usually root for whichever team was playing against the Vicking just so he could give his Uncle a hard time.  It was all in fun...he was always the first one to pick out the Vickings memorabilia for his uncle.  Why do you ask?

Carolyn

Hey everyone,
I have a favor to ask.  Please send this you tube link out to anyone that you can send it to and ask them to forward it.  I am attaching a copy of the email that I sent out to everyone in my address book.  Some of you may have already gotten this.  Feel free to copy the email below and past it into your email and send it out to everyone in your address book.


Hey Everyone,

I really don't believe in forwarding email or sending out stuff that I know people really don't want.  However this is a You Tube video of my son. Clinton Devon Nelson went missing on 9/1/2006 from Princeton Louisiana.  We are desperately seeking answers as to what happened to him.  I am asking two things of you – 1st please pray for answers.  2nd please forward this email to everyone that you can.  We are not having a lot of luck getting this information out on a national level, so if we start sending it by email, maybe someone will recognize him…and can fill us in on what happened over 15 months ago!  Please help our family find the answers that we need.  If you know anything about my son please contact me at the following email address....

Sincerely,

Carolyn Johnson

Haha..Sounds like my nephews :) I'm a life long die hard Vikings fan and yall live in vikings country  :cool:

Anything new from that PI Carolyn?

We don't have a PI.  I have spoken to a couple of them but as of now I can't afford it.  I am anxious to see how the YOU TUBE video and search go.  If we don't find him during the search, we will have to figure out where to go from here.  I am not sure what to expect....

Carolyn

Carolyn - I did send an email.

Carolyn, I'd be happy to work on the flyer. Do you have a date or dates set for the search? Can you help me identify what uses any donations would benefit? Those things should be included in the information. Thanks!

Thank you Crazybabyborg.

The search dates are January 18, 19, 20, 2008 - Princeton, Louisiana.  The Donations are going to be used for travel, food, and lodging for search and rescue teams that are coming from outside of the area.  The donations can be tax deductible by going through Let's Bring Them Home.

Thank you so much and let me know what else you need from me.

Carolyn

Thanks Carolyn!

OK, if someone wanted to volunteer to search during those dates in January, who would they contact? Is it possible to have one contact to either donate or volunteer? Sometimes keeping it simple can help encourage folks to help.

So far, I've got that Texas Equasearch is conducting the search, and the dates of the search, along with Clinton's picture and description. I thought I might refer to a website for more details of the circumstances surrounding the case. Which site would be the best for that?

When I'm done, I'll post it here and we'll change anything you want, and I'm totally open to suggestions. I was just trying to get a draft and I felt that keeping it as simple as possible was the thing to do. Get what you need out there.....

Donations, volunteers, and information on Clinton can be found on www.letsbringthemhome.org. There is also information on Clinton @ www.texasequusearch.org. If there are any other questions they can contact me at find-clinton@hotmail.com.

Thanks
Carolyn

Carolyn, this is what I've come up with. It's scaled so that it should fit a regular sheet of typing paper. Let me know of anything else I can do.

I'm working on something too and will post as soon as it's ready.  CBB is not feeling very well today and may not get a chance to work on it more.

Carolyn - I emailed you the attached PDF flyer, let me know if you need any changes or corrections to it.

Thank you Crazybabyborg....I really appreciate you doing this.

Thanks
Carolyn

Thank you Klaasend...
I really appreciate it.

Thanks
Carolyn

Hey everyone, I wanted to tell Angelala, MumInOhio, Muffybee, LaDonna, OldFart, Snoopy, Kermit, Klaasend, Crazybabyborg, Gloria, Debbie, Linda, Alabamamom,and all of you who have donated or are going to donate towards Clinton's search, and those of you who have already told me that you are going to help with the search, THANK YOU.  Some of the things that have gotten accomplished over the last couple of weeks have me in total awe.  If I have forgotten anyone please forgive me, it is not intentional.  My head is totally spinning at this point.

We are still trying to raise funds to help cover expenses related to the search, so far we have only raised about 5% of what it is estimated that we need to cover the search in January.

Thanks again everyone.  I appreciate what you have done! 

Please continue to pass the email with the you tube video around.  There have been 659 hits so far.  We are trying to get this out to as many people as we can. I am attaching the email for you to copy at past into your email program at the end of this post. 

Have a great Day! :P

Carolyn - any idea why the youtube is in this category?  I thin youtube might have a missing persons category.  Plus in the tags you should add Clinton, Nelson, missing, Louisiana

Klaasend, Kermit did all of this for me.  I will check with him to see if there is a way that we can edit the things you have mentioned.  Thanks for pointing it out.

Carolyn,

The video is making its way around on myspace too.
And I've got world wide prayer going for Clinton and you now.

Kermit, Thank you.  I just checked there have been 1072 hits so far on the video.  That is 1072 new opportunities to find out what happened to my son.  Keep saying your prayers.

Carolyn

Thanks MuffyBee....you are always so thoughtful!

Carolyn

I thought you would want to see one of the news articles running on the upcoming search for Clinton.  They have some of the information wrong and will hopefully be running another story with the correct information.

Thanks

Search planned for Clinton Nelson


Spearfish

Trained search teams are preparing to travel to the Princeton, La., area next week in hopes they might find some trace of Clinton Nelson, formerly of Spearfish, who has been missing since Sept. 1, 2006 when he disappeared without a trace from a house in Princeton, La.

Police suspect foul play, but no evidence has been found, according to Nelson's mom, Carolyn Johnson of Spearfish. All there is at this point are questions.

Clinton has two sisters, Amanda, 23, and Tarah, 16, both of Spearfish. His adoptive dad, Fred Nelson, also lives in Spearfish, as do Carolyn Johnson and her husband, Ross Johnson, with whom Clinton spent most of his growing-up years.

Four months before his disappearance, Clinton had moved to Louisiana.

There is a $12,500 reward for information leading to Nelson's whereabouts and the arrest and conviction of persons responsible, but it has turned up nothing.

Johnson said law enforcement officers have not ruled out the possibility that there could have been some sort of accident and they haven't found him yet.

The search is scheduled for Dec. 18-20.

Johnson said it would be organized as a grid search where several people walk close together looking for any kind of clues. This is done over a five-mile radius from the house that Nelson was last seen.

They need money to cover expenses of the search teams. They are working on community donations.

“It’s a pretty daunting task,”Johnson said. “They have to cover twenty miles in only three days.”

Search teams are expected to come from all over the country including Maine, North Carolina and Indiana. Plus, many other local volunteers and the Let’s Bring Them Home are assisting.

“We need all the people we can get,” Johnson said.

The help includes financial assistance to help cover the search teams’ expenses while in Louisiana.

Johnson said a local fund drive is underway and donations may also be sent to the Let’s Bring Them Home organization.

Excellent - to keep getting the word out!

I agree Kermie!

Sorry...hit post without thinking! :2doh:

It is so important to keep Clinton's name and story in the public conciousness. You never know what that might trigger. Maybe someone will remember something they didn't think was important at the time.
You're in my prayers Carolyn.

Thanks PDH3 and Kermit.

On the Zwire.....
Black Hills Pioneer editorial December 17, 2007
After work one day, Carolyn Johnson was driving home when her son called. He had recently started a new job in Louisiana and he told her stories about working on an oil rig and how much he loved it. They told each other "I love you."
That was 15 months ago.
It was the last time Carolyn talked to her son.
Clinton Devon Nelson, 21, of Spearfish went missing days later in Princeton, La. To this day, his family, friends, son and the Northern Hills community have no idea what happened to him or where he is.
Multiple leads have turned up wanting and many search efforts have produced nothing.
In January his family is organizing a new, massive search with law enforcement and search and rescue teams. They are looking for volunteers from the Northern Hills to volunteer to go to Louisiana to help. They're also looking for $5,000 in order to provide food, lodging and transportation for the search and rescue teams. They need this money by Jan. 1, 2008.
We bet our community will step up and help.
"We are going to search shoulder to shoulder across the entire area where he was last seen," Carolyn said.
Clinton's son Austin, who was born months after his father disappeared, is now a bouncing baby boy and Carolyn and her husband Ross Johnson, a lieutenant with the City of Spearfish Police Department, are gearing up for another holiday season without one family member.
"The anxiety, guilt, frustration and panic that a mother experiences during this time is horrible," she said. "It is the most unbearable and excruciating torment that anyone can imagine."
After Clinton disappeared, Carolyn filed a missing persons report, which she described as a difficult experience. "Adults have the right to disappear if they want to," Carolyn said. "Clinton is an adult."
Later the detectives on the case in Louisiana called. "They believed Clinton had met with foul play and they were searching the woods with dogs for a body," she said.
To no avail.
"The two theories are that my son either died from foul play or some kind of accident that he has not been found yet," Carolyn said. "To know the only way I can find my son is to depend on other people and their money is a very difficult thing for me. But, I would do anything for my son. I will never stop looking for him."
A fund has been established to help the Johnsons find out what happened to their son.
To donate to the fund, please contact any First Western Bank in the Northern Hills and ask for information on the Clinton Nelson Search Fund. Anyone interested in volunteering to travel to Louisiana and join the search can e-mail the Johnson Family at find-clinton@hotmail.com. Volunteers can also contact "Let's Bring Them Home at 1-877-270-9500. This organization has posted a $75,000 reward for information leading to Clinton's whereabouts and the arrest and conviction of any person(s) responsible.

Carolyn...wishing you and your family the best for the Holiday Season. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Keeping you Carolyn and Clinton and your family in my heart and prayers.

I would like to offer a prayer this Christmas Eve for Clinton, who has been missing for so long, and for his mother Carolyn who has committed herself to finding him.  I offer this prayer:

Prayer for Those Whose Loved Ones Are Missing

Loving God, the hope and protector of all humankind; bless those whose loved ones are missing. The agony of not knowing whether someone is living or dead is a daily torture. The uncertainty of life's future relationships hangs in limbo. Hope rides a roller coaster. Yet each day must be lived. Give unto your people the blessing of your grace that they may face each day with courage and hope. Guard their families from further danger and harm and hold them in the blessing of your love. Amen.
-- Vienna Cobb Anderson, from "Prayers of Our Hearts" c 1991 Vienna Cobb Anderson. Reprinted with the permission of the author.

Merry Christmas Carolyn,Clinton and the rest of the Family! You are always in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks Mum,

Carolyn - My prayers are with you. I hope 2008 is the year that you find Clinton, and that you get the answers you need.  Those of us who are unable to help with the search will be with you in spirit.

PDH3 -
It is nice to know that there are so many people praying and supporting our family.  Don't worry about not being able to help physically with the search, the prayers are just as helpful (if not more).  Thanks

Blessings,
Carolyn

Good morning Carolyn... (hello Monkeys)...

I woke up thinking about you and the upcoming search ... first thing this morning. I'm anxious for the upcoming search. It is almost time to start the biggest part of the push for volunteer searchers in the local area there in Louisiana... and I'm ready to go on it.

Bless your heart... you are in my prayers... and PRAYERS WORK. If there's anything you know of that needs to be on my To Do List for you... just let me know.

Thanks Angelala,
I appreciate all of your help.  You are great and have been a tremendous help!

Carolyn

Hey everyone, here is a news story that is running on Clinton in SD.  There is a link included that will let you see the video if you want to.  Thanks Carolyn



The holidays are a time to spend with family, but imagine if one of your beloved family members was missing.  One Spearfish family is dealing with that reality.  But, they're trying to find their son, and you can help.

Carolyn Johnson says her son, Clinton Nelson, was a jokester.


"He loved when I was mad at him.  He would sit there and make faces and say silly things because he knew I would crack up laughing," Mrs. Johnson said. 


But the last time Johnson laughed with her 21-year-old son, who would be 22 now, was more than a year ago.


"We were talking about his job on the oil rig and how proud of himself he was.  It was just a good conversation," Mrs. Johnson said.


Nelson disappeared on Sept. 1, 2006 from Princeton, Louisiana, after leaving a friend's house on foot.


"The chances of him being alive are pretty slim," said Nelson's stepfather, Ross Johnson.


Police did more than three searches, and found nothing, not even a clue.  But the Johnsons won't give up, and are looking for donations and volunteers to go down to Louisiana this January for another search.


"One of the biggest challenges, of course, is to be able to fund it.  We can't personally do it.  A search of this undertaking is very man-power intensive to be able to do it correctly," Mr. Johnson said.


The Johnson's say they hope the search reveals more information, or just brings some closure.


"It's the unknown that's most difficult to deal with," Mr. Johnson said.


But now, as the Johnsons prepare for a second Christmas without their son, all they have is memories, and the hope they may hear him joking once again.


"Ross had called up 'Clinton, you need to get ready for school.'  All of a sudden we hear this 'You've reached the message machine of Clinton Nelson, please leave a message after the beep.'  Then, Ross starts talking pretending he's leaving a message and then you hear BEEP!  He cut him off!  He was always doing things like that," Mrs. Johnson said.

The Johnsons say they would like more than 100 volunteers, and $5,000 by Jan. 1, to conduct the search properly.  If you want to donate, volunteer or have any information on Nelson's disappearance please call the following numbers.

To donate, contact any Northern Hills First Western Bank and ask for information on the Clinton Nelson Search Fund.

To volunteer to travel to Louisiana and join the search, e-mail the Johnson Family at find-clinton@hotmail.com.  Volunteers can also contact "Let's Bring Them Home" at 1 (877) 270-9500. This organization posted a $75,000 reward for information leading to Nelson's whereabouts and the arrest and conviction of any person(s) responsible.

Hi Carolyn
I have not posted here before as there is little I can do to help from this distance except in my prayers.
Please accept my heartfelt wishes for Clinton's return and may this New Year 2008 bring you answers.
Tibro

Thanks Tibro.  I believe the prayers are as important as physical help.  I appreciate the prayers and support.

Blessings,
Carolyn

Dear Carolyn....I'm hoping the New Year brings you and your family all the answers you so need and deserve.

Stay strong!

I can't say it any better than that!!

Take care!
