Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Clinton Bird, a 43-year-old male, was reported missing from Kent, Washington, after he was last known to have been seen on September 27, 2022. Public missing-person records describe him as a white male, 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 145 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. His case has been classified as a missing-person case, and the available public record places the heart of the matter in western Washington: Kent is listed as the missing-from location, while the case narrative states that he was last seen in Tacoma on the same date. From that point forward, the public account becomes painfully brief: Clinton has not been heard from again, and few details have been released about what happened before or after he disappeared.

The limited information available leaves a quiet but troubling picture. Clinton was 43 at the time he vanished, old enough to have established routines, relationships, and familiar places, yet the public record does not explain where he was going, who last saw him, whether he had transportation, or what circumstances led to concern for his safety. In cases like this, the absence of detail can be especially difficult for loved ones and communities, because it leaves people with little more than a date, a location, and the hope that someone remembers something they did not realize mattered at the time. The Charley Project’s summary says only that Clinton was last seen in Tacoma on September 27, 2022, and that he has never been heard from again, underscoring how little has been made publicly available.

The investigating agency listed for Clinton’s case is the Kent Police Department, with the public contact number 253-856-5800. That detail matters because it identifies the local agency responsible for receiving information and following up on leads. Washington State Patrol’s Missing and Unidentified Persons Unit also explains that missing-person cases in Washington should first be reported to the primary law enforcement agency where the person was last seen, and that its unit can assist with posters and investigative support once a local agency is involved. WSP also states that there is no waiting period to report a missing person, a principle that reflects the urgency these cases can carry from the very beginning.

Publicly available information does not describe Clinton’s clothing, destination, medical needs, vehicle, phone activity, financial activity, or any confirmed sightings after September 27, 2022. It also does not provide a theory about what may have happened to him. That lack of public detail should not be mistaken for a lack of concern; rather, it shows that this case remains defined by unanswered questions. When a person disappears and no clear explanation is released, the passage of time can make the search feel more difficult, but even small pieces of information can still be meaningful: a remembered conversation, a sighting, a place he may have visited, or a detail about his movements near Kent or Tacoma could help clarify the final known timeline.

As it stands, Clinton Bird’s case is the story of a 43-year-old man whose last publicly documented contact was on September 27, 2022, connected to Kent and Tacoma, Washington, and whose whereabouts after that day remain publicly unexplained. He is described as a white male with brown hair and blue eyes, 5 feet 8 inches tall and 145 pounds, and his disappearance is being handled through the Kent Police Department. The public record offers only a narrow window into the case, but that narrow window is still important: Clinton was here, he was last seen, he has not been heard from again, and the available reports leave his case as an unresolved disappearance marked by limited details, continuing questions, and the hope that information may still come forward.
