Still missing after all these years

Date Missing: April 4, 1991

Angela Marie "Angie" Hammond was last seen by her boyfriend at approximately 10 p.m. on April 4, 1991, as Angie dropped him off at his home in Clinton, MO following a date. Angie later called her boyfriend from a pay phone in downtown Clinton at 11:15 p.m.

During the conversation, Angie spoke of an older model two-tone green truck with a fishing mural on the rear window that kept circling the block.

Angie then said the truck stopped and a bearded man in coveralls got out of the truck and was coming towards her in the phone booth. Angie screamed, and the line went dead.

Angie's boyfriend told authorities he drove to the scene and was passed by the same two-tone green truck. Angie screamed his name as the truck sped by and left town. Angie has not been seen since.

If you have information, please contact the Clinton Missouri Police Department at 660.885.2679 or the Missouri State Highway Patrol at Missing Persons Unit at 800.877.3452 or 911

Obituary - David Dale Carey

David Dale Carey, age 82, of Redfield, KS, went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Tuesday, March 29, 2022. He was born on July 13, 1939, to William and Bonnie Flo (Cloney) Carey in Decatur, IL.

He joined the Navy with five of his closest friends where he served from 1956-1960 traveling the world in service to his country. 

He had a lifelong love of motorcycles and did some stunts at the Macon County Speedway. His greatest passion was horses, and he was a true cowboy who loved rodeo and roping. He was a PRCA Gold Card Member and won the Great Lake Circuit heeling in the team roping in 1976.

He met the love of his life, Susan Diane Riley and married her in 1977 in Casper, WY. They lived in Wyoming, Illinois, & Kansas. Throughout the years he worked for Staley Express, KAR Productions, and Kirkland Welding. He was an assistant rodeo coach at FSCC under Coach John Luthi and went on to coach and mentor many young rodeo athletes throughout his life. Dave and Sue spent their retirement traveling in their motorhome with lifelong friends to Arizona and Florida and found a roping to go to whenever possible. They also set up their Cowboy Warehouse tack trailer at local rodeos for years. He was an encouragement to many and never knew a stranger. Dave was one of the best storytellers and had so many to share!

He is survived by his wife Sue, his sister Kay Turner and husband John of Wyoming, and daughters: Chrissy Shoot and husband Doyle, Cody White and husband Ryan, and sons: Lance Carey and wife Grace, Jimmy Litts and wife Shannon, Curt Carey, Bart Carey, & Billy Carey. He had 12 grandchildren & four great grandchildren.
