Extinguished

In this episode of “Extinguished,” hosts LaDonna Humphrey and David McClam meticulously examine the disappearance of Clinton Nelson, who vanished under enigmatic circumstances in Princeton, Louisiana, on September 1, 2006. Clinton, aged 21, was last observed walking home from a party around midnight. Despite exhaustive searches conducted by law enforcement and his family, no substantial leads have surfaced, plunging his loved ones into profound uncertainty and grief. The discussion scrutinizes potential drug-related factors and emphasizes a stringent Louisiana statute that enforces severe penalties for those supplying drugs that result in death. This law may inadvertently deter individuals from disclosing information due to the fear of legal consequences, thereby stalling investigations by fostering a climate of fear within the drug community and perpetuating unresolved cases. The dialogue proposes various measures to incentivize the sharing of information, including the provision of immunity or reduced sentences, and the establishment of trust through harm reduction initiatives. It underscores the critical role of support and advocacy for families of missing persons, highlighting the significance of organizations that assist in navigating the legal landscape and enhancing public awareness. The utilization of anonymous tip lines is suggested as a method to gather information without imposing legal ramifications. The narrative emphasizes the relentless efforts of Clinton’s mother, Carolyn, who has been an unwavering advocate for her son since his disappearance. It stresses the paramount importance of public awareness and collective support in resolving such cases, urging anyone with pertinent information to contact the Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office or reputable advocacy organizations, as even minor tips could prove to be pivotal.

We delve into the mysterious disappearance of Clinton Devon Nelson in September 2006, a young man from Nebraska who went missing after trying to reconnect with his biological father in Louisiana. Despite a hopeful beginning, including a job offer and plans to live with his father, Clinton’s story took a dark turn when he vanished following an encounter at a friend’s house, where his stepfather Jeff last saw him peering through blinds. Clinton had a history that included a drug possession charge and an outstanding arrest warrant for missing a court date, but his sudden disappearance left many unanswered questions. His family firmly believed he wouldn’t have left voluntarily, especially since he was excited about upcoming fatherhood and left behind his paycheck. Investigations revealed drug activity at the friend’s house Clinton visited, linking it to methamphetamine distribution, and suggested Clinton might have been using heavy narcotics, possibly leading to paranoia and erratic behavior. Despite extensive searches and theories ranging from voluntary departure to drug-induced disorientation or even foul play, Clinton’s fate remains unknown. LaDonna along with Amy Smith, participated in search efforts and are working on a documentary to bring attention to Clinton’s case, hoping for closure and justice. They encourage listeners to provide any information to authorities.

They also discuss the corruption in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties and the questionable decisions made by the sheriff's office. The hosts express their concerns about the stand your ground claim in Deanna's case and the gunshot pattern that suggests she was running away.
