Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP4095) and 4 other sources
Clyde Prentiss Ellis Jr., a 36-year-old man from Picayune, Mississippi, was last seen on April 25, 1993, near the Pearl River/Walkiah Bluff area. On the day of his disappearance, he was reportedly wearing a white polo shirt, gray jacket, jeans, and gray boots. Ellis had some distinctive features, including a steel rod in his neck due to prior medical procedures and fillings in his teeth. He also had previously broken his nose and might have had a plug of bone removed from his femur.

Ellis was last seen at the Walkiah Bluff Campgrounds, and his boat was later found about a quarter of a mile away from the camp, partially submerged in the Pearl River. Despite extensive search efforts, there has been no trace of Ellis, and few details have emerged about what might have happened to him. The case remains open, with the Pearl River County Sheriff's Office continuing the investigation, although no significant breakthroughs have been reported in recent years.

The mystery surrounding his disappearance has left many questions unanswered, with investigators still seeking any information that could lead to resolving this case.
