Chance Cahill Henry, a 35-year-old white male, was last seen in Springfield, Missouri, on the morning of November 29, 2024. His disappearance began with a day that should have marked forward movement: according to an online missing-person writeup, he had attended a job interview on Commercial Street in Springfield the day after spending Thanksgiving with family. That interview became the last confirmed point in the public timeline, and after that morning he was not heard from again.
The Charley Project lists him as an endangered missing person, and the Missouri State Highway Patrol Missing Persons Clearinghouse records his date of last contact as 11/29/2024, his age at disappearance as 35, and his missing-from location as Springfield, Missouri.
Chance was described in official and missing-person sources as male, white, with brown hair and brown eyes, standing 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing about 150 pounds, though The Charley Project gives a broader listed weight range of 150 to 168 pounds. His identifying features may be especially important because they include several tattoos: the Missouri State Highway Patrol flyer notes a mustache tattoo on his left index finger and the word “Familia” in scripted font on his right arm, while The Charley Project also lists star tattoos on the front of each shoulder. These details turn a public notice into a clearer portrait of a real man whose family and community may still hope someone recognizes him from a fleeting encounter, a remembered conversation, or a sighting that did not seem significant at the time.
Publicly available accounts describe the period before Chance vanished as difficult and unstable. The Charley Project states that he may have been suffering from mental illness, while another online account says he had been facing hardship, including homelessness, physical trauma, and a lack of reliable transportation. That account reports that he had strong ties not only to Springfield, but also to Bolivar and Rogersville, and later noted ties to Taney County areas such as Forsyth and Branson. It also says he was known to spend time in parts of Springfield including behind the Fast and Friendly gas station at 2766 North Kansas Expressway and around the Cinderella and Cherry Street area off Glenstone Avenue. These details matter because they broaden the geography of the search beyond a single last-seen point and suggest that someone in the wider southwest Missouri region may have crossed paths with him before or after his disappearance.
The account of Chance’s life before he went missing adds depth to the public record. He reportedly grew up in Bolivar, attended Bolivar High School, and joined the Polk County Volunteer Fire Department as a teenager, a reflection of a person who had once stepped into a service role very young. The same source describes him as compassionate and devoted to family, particularly his mother, and says that regular communication with her had been part of his life before the silence that followed his disappearance. While those personal details come from a non-law-enforcement source, they underscore why the lack of contact after November 29, 2024, is so painful and alarming: this is not only a missing-person entry, but a son, friend, and former young volunteer whose absence has left people waiting for answers.
As of the available online information, few confirmed investigative details have been released publicly. The Charley Project states simply that Chance was last seen in Springfield on the morning of November 29, 2024, that he has never been heard from again, and that few details are available in the case. The Missouri State Highway Patrol flyer asks anyone with information about Chance Henry’s whereabouts to contact the Springfield Police Department at 417-864-1810, and it also lists the Missouri State Highway Patrol Missing Persons Clearinghouse phone number as 573-526-6178. From the known public record, the case centers on a 35-year-old man last seen in Springfield, Missouri, after a job interview on November 29, 2024; a man with identifiable tattoos, brown hair and brown eyes, ties to multiple Missouri communities, possible mental-health concerns, and loved ones left with a painful absence where routine contact once existed. The overview of the case is that Chance Cahill Henry disappeared from Springfield under limited publicly known circumstances, remains classified in public sources as an endangered missing person, and the clearest path forward remains information from anyone who may have seen him, spoken with him, or knows what happened after that last confirmed morning.Last Seen: Nov 29, 2024
