On a spring day in Alexandria, Louisiana, 59-year-old Alex Clay was at Rapides Hospital on May 18, 2013, which was the last time he was seen. Since that day, there has been no contact with him, leaving his family and community with unanswered questions. Mr. Clay is an African American male with gray or partially gray hair and brown eyes. At the time of his disappearance, he stood at 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighed between 250 and 290 pounds.
When he was last seen, he was wearing plaid pants, and a photograph shows him with a partially gray beard and mustache.
The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear. His last known location was a hospital, but what happened after he was seen there is a mystery. The Alexandria Police Department opened an investigation into his disappearance on the same day he was last seen, but the years that have passed have not brought any significant breakthroughs in the case. The lack of information has made the search for answers incredibly difficult for those who know and love him. His case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System on May 14, 2018, five years after he vanished, in an effort to generate new leads.
The investigation into Alex Clay's disappearance is ongoing, and the Alexandria Police Department's Crimes Against Persons Division continues to be the primary contact for any information. Despite the passage of time, the hope of finding out what happened to Mr. Clay has not faded for his family and the investigators working on his case. The case serves as a somber reminder of the many individuals who disappear each year, leaving behind a void in the lives of their loved ones and a puzzle for law enforcement to solve. The overview of this case is one of an abrupt and unexplained disappearance that has left a family searching for answers for over a decade.Last Seen: May 18, 2013
