Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP27862) and 6 other sources
On November 20, 1984, a 36-year-old man named Clarke Noble Achey disappeared from Moore Township in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. He was a white male with black hair and brown eyes, stood at 6 feet tall, and weighed approximately 190 pounds. A notable characteristic was a tattoo of the name 'Barb' on his upper left arm. At the time he went missing, he was with his vehicle, a green 1967 Plymouth Fury with a Pennsylvania license plate numbered 78567U.

The circumstances surrounding Clarke's disappearance remain shrouded in mystery, with very few details available to the public. He was last seen in Moore Township, and from that point on, neither he nor his car were ever seen or heard from again. The lack of evidence has presented a significant challenge to investigators over the years, leaving his case cold for decades. The Moore Township Police Department is the primary agency investigating his disappearance, with assistance from the Pennsylvania State Police. Despite their efforts, there have been no significant breakthroughs in the investigation.

Over the years, Clarke Achey's case has become one of the many unsolved missing person cases in the region. The passage of time has not brought any answers or closure to his family and loved ones. The absence of both Clarke and his vehicle continues to be a perplexing puzzle for law enforcement. The investigation remains open, with authorities still seeking any information that could shed light on what happened to him on that autumn day in 1984. His case serves as a somber reminder of the enduring pain and uncertainty that surrounds unsolved disappearances.
