A Georgia family is still searching for answers nearly two years after their loved one vanished.
Harold Eugene Clark Sr., 64, was last seen on Dec. 21, 2023, according to the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office. His black 2007 Toyota Camry was eventually located, but Clark himself has never been found.
“Every day it hurts more and more,” Clark’s daughter, Shawndolyn, told ABC News affiliate WJCL in an interview earlier this month.
In May 2024, a few months after his disappearance, his wife Sharon told NBC News affiliate WSAV that the day started off normally.
“I leaned over, kissed him on his forehead and he had a smile on his face,” she recalled. “I told him we’ll talk later.”
That evening, Clark went out with friends but never returned home. “He called me at 8:30 that night and told me, ‘I am on my way home. Have you finished cooking?’ ” Sharon said.
She spoke to him once more the following day. He said he had gotten lost in the woods, according to WJCL.
“He was lost,” Sharon told WSAV. “He says he remembers calling me, telling me he was on his way home and he said, ‘I don’t know how I got here.’ He said, ‘I don’t even know where I am at.’ “
Sharon says she urged him to call 911. When he didn’t, she contacted authorities herself, but officials said they never received a call from him.
In October 2024, about 10 months after he went missing, a hunter discovered Clark’s vehicle in the woods of McIntosh County — less than an hour from his home, according to WJCL.
Since then, there have been no updates in the case. Sharon believes investigators haven’t done enough. “I really don’t think we got treated fairly,” she said.
When reached by PEOPLE, a spokesperson for the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office said the investigation has since been handed over to the McIntosh County Sheriff’s Office.
“The Liberty County Sheriff’s Office completed the missing person report because Mr. Clark lived within the county. Mr. Clark’s vehicle was located several months later at a wildlife management area in McIntosh County,” the spokesperson explained. “The last known cellphone tower information for Mr. Clark’s cellphone was also in the WMA area in McIntosh.”
The McIntosh County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment about the case.
Despite the long wait, Clark’s family continues to plead for information.
“You can be anonymous,” Sharon told WJCL. “Just tell the people what you heard, what you may know.”
