Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP5255) and 5 other sources
Clinton Leon Porter, a 61-year-old man from Reserve, New Mexico, was last seen on January 6, 2009. He left Uncle Bill's Bar in Reserve during the early morning hours with an acquaintance, Samuel Lester Garrels. Garrels later claimed that he had dropped Porter off with two unknown individuals at another bar in Glenwood, New Mexico, intending to meet him again later that day. However, authorities found no evidence that Porter had ever been at the Glenwood bar, and no one saw Garrels during the critical time between 12:10 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. that day.

Porter, who went by his middle name "Leon," has not been seen or heard from since. He was described as 5'9" to 5'10", weighing 145 to 155 pounds, with graying brown hair and green eyes. He wore metal-framed eyeglasses and had heart stents implanted. Despite ongoing investigations, his disappearance remains unsolved, and his case is classified as endangered missing.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Catron County Sheriff's Department, as there have been no substantial leads since the initial investigation.
