A Mother’s Nightmare: Missing University Student Dwight Clark’s Body Found

It’s every parents nightmare: You send your child away to college and they never come back.

Just a week after going away to Western Washington University, 18 year old freshman Dwight Clark went to a party like any college kid would. But after he left, something terrible happened. He sent the message “Help Find Me,” followed by a blank message at 2:40am on Sept. 26.

Fellow students have been passing out fliers and wearing tee shirts to help find their classmate and a $14,000 reward was offered. His mother has been too upset to talk to the press but was hard at work trying to locate him. “We want to get his face everywhere we can and put him back in his mom’s arms. She’s not going home until she finds him,” said a friend.

Sadly, she has at least part of the answer.

Police pulled Dwight’s body, ID’d by the drivers license found with him, out of the Bellingham Bay in Washington today.

Western University President Bruce Shepard said in a statement:

“We are profoundly saddened, and extend our deepest condolences to the Clark family and all who knew Dwight personally.”

The students held a vigil tonight and our thoughts are with his family. Hopefully, police will be able to find out what happened and bring him to justice.
