Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP10702) and 9 other sources
Albert Lee Scarber, known to some by the nickname 'Stubby,' was a 69-year-old man who disappeared from his residence in Rosston, a community in Nevada County, Arkansas. The exact date of his last confirmed sighting is uncertain, with reports varying between late December 2008 and early January 2009. One account specifies that he was last seen on his 69th birthday, December 28, 2008, standing at the foot of his driveway next to the road. At the time of his disappearance, Scarber was living with another person along Highway 200 in the Oak Grove area, located south of Prescott and east of the Rosston community. He was reported missing by a friend on January 31, 2009.

It was apparently not unusual for Scarber to leave his home for extended periods without notifying anyone, but he had never been gone for such a long duration. When he was last seen, he was wearing a brown coat, blue jeans, brown high-top boots, and a blue ball cap. Scarber has several distinguishing physical characteristics. He has a prosthetic left eye, part of his right index finger is missing, and he walks with a limp. His family also expressed concerns that he might have been suffering from Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia at the time he went missing.

The Nevada County Sheriff's Department is the primary investigating agency in Scarber's case. The Arkansas State Police were later requested to assist with the investigation. Despite the passage of many years, his case remains unsolved, and he has not been seen or heard from since his disappearance. The circumstances surrounding his vanishing are vague, with the last known image of him being that of a man standing by the road at the end of his driveway. His tendency to leave without notice complicates the timeline, yet the length of his absence is a source of great concern for those who knew him. The investigation into what happened to Albert Lee Scarber continues.

Last Seen: Dec 28, 2008
