The Quiet Disappearance of Paul Barnett

---

A Missing Man from Eufaula

Paul Wayne Barnett was 48 years old when he disappeared from Eufaula, Oklahoma, in 2017. Public missing-person records identify Barnett as an American Indian/Alaska Native man and an enrolled member of the Muscogee Nation. He was known by the nickname “Squirrely.” His disappearance is associated with McIntosh County, and his case has remained on Oklahoma missing-person and cold-case listings for years. The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System identifies his case as MP39291, while the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation’s current Missing Person Index continues to classify Paul Barnett as missing.

The Last Known Contact

The most widely reported account of Barnett’s disappearance places his last known contact on June 1, 2017. According to information drawn from missing-person records, Barnett’s sister took him to a store that day. Nothing about the publicly released description of that trip suggests that it was expected to become the beginning of a prolonged disappearance. The available records do not identify the store, describe what Barnett purchased, or provide a detailed account of where he went immediately afterward. What is documented is that June 1 became the pivotal date in the case—the last contact date carried by NamUs and several organizations that reproduce its information.
