45 years after college student from Georgia vanished, car with remains found in Alabama creek
For 45 years, no one could say for certain what happened to Kyle Clinkscales.
The 22-year-old Auburn University student vanished on a cold January night in 1976 after leaving his bartending job in LaGrange to make the 35-mile drive back to campus. He never made it.
Nearly 30 years later, investigators made two arrests after a tipster came forward with information about Clinkscales’ killing. The man suspected of murder, Ray Hyde, had died years earlier. Another man, Jimmy Earl Jones, was later convicted of making false statements to police.

Troup County investigators speculated that Hyde, who died in July 2001, killed Clinkscales because he feared the student may have learned of Hyde’s role in hiding stolen cars, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution previously reported. Six months after Clinkscales’ disappearance, Hyde was arrested on numerous auto theft charges and was later sent to prison.
