Twenty-six days since Clinton “Clint” Bonnell disappeared, and his whereabouts remain a mystery. “Sadly, he is still missing, and the case is actively being investigated,” says Lt.  Patrice Bogertey with the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office. “The entire Sheriff’s Office is looking for him,” Bogertey says about the 50-year-old retired Green Beret, who last was seen on Jan. 27 at the Fit4Life Health Club on Owen Drive.
He was wearing, according to a news release, a plaid button-up shirt, a black hoodie and brown pants. He is 6 feet tall and weighs 195 pounds. A student in the Physician Assistant Studies program at Methodist University, Bonnell reportedly was headed to the university and then to his Gray’s Creek home. “This case is currently in the hands of one dedicated detective, but the entire agency is looking for him,” Bogertey said. “We ask anyone with information to please come forward.”
Bonnell’s sister, Stefanie Firkins, is asking, too.
“I believe someone out there has information that can help us find him,” she wrote on her Facebook page on Monday.
You can be assured, Mrs. Firkins, someone knows something. If you have any knowledge about Bonnell’s whereabouts, contact Detective Sgt. J. McLeod at 910-677-5548. Or you may contact Crimestoppers on fay-nccrimestoppers.org or call 910-483-TIPS (8477).
