GOLDSBY, Oklahoma -- The McClain County Sheriff's Office is searching for missing man.

-- 1988 Jeep Comanche Pickup Truck, deep red in color, OK license tag of LBD 638, with a ladder rack and aluminum tool box in the bed

Law enforcement considers Shipley missing and endangered. Shipley often went out of town for work, which is why he was not reported missing for several weeks. He was a painter by trade.

Search for missing man continues

Authorities suspect possible foul play in the disappearance of a Goldsby man.

Bill Dwayne Shipley, 47, has been missing since July 19.

Shipley’s sister reported concern for his whereabouts after he did not contact his family for several weeks.

“The nature of Shipley’s job delayed the missing person report,” McClain County Sheriff Detective Lt. Dan Huff said.



Shipley is an out-of-state contract painter and it is not uncommon for his relatives not to hear from him.

Huff said this is out of character for Shipley because he had never left home without informing his family of his whereabouts.

“At this point of our investigation, we suspect foul play,” Huff said.

One of Shipley’s vehicles was recovered over the weekend at an apartment complex in south Oklahoma City.

The Jeep pickup with a ladder rack was found. Some of the items in and on the pickup were missing. Huff said the ladder was one of the items missing.

Another vehicle, a 2002 Chevrolet S-14 extended cab 4x4 pickup, is also missing. The pickup is deep red in color and bears an Oklahoma license plate of FSH 262.

His credit card has also been used in the metro area, and investigators are seeking the identification of a person of interest, Huff said.

“The person of interest is not necessarily a suspect at this point, but we would like to speak with him to see what he may know of Shipley’s whereabouts,” the detective said.

Sheriff’s detective David Tompkins said a red flag also went up after investigators learned Shipley had not collected his mail since around July 19.

Shipley is described as 5’ 9” with blue eyes and brown hair. His weight was given at 175 to 200 pounds.

Tompkins said Shipley’s clothes were found packed at his trailer in Adkins Hill Trailer Park in Goldsby as though he was ready to leave for a job.

If anyone has information on Shipley’s whereabouts or the identification of the man in the photo, they are asked to call Huff or Tompkins at the McClain County Sheriff’s Office, 527-2141.

Pickup belonging to missing Goldsby man is found in Oklahoma City

GOLDSBY — Investigators have found a pickup belonging to a man who went missing more than a year ago after leaving his Goldsby home to work on two out-of-state house painting jobs.

Bill Shipley withdrew more than $3,000 from an ATM in Goldsby before leaving for jobs in Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri. He was never seen again.

McClain County Undersheriff Bill Shobe said the pickup Shipley was driving, a 2002 Chevy S-14 crew cab, was found Tuesday evening in the Oklahoma City area.

“There was no sign of him,” Shobe said. “That’s what I want. I want him. We have the truck secured and are processing it.”

Shobe said investigators hope to find some evidence that will lead them to Shipley, who was 47 when he disappeared. It took family members a month to report Shipley missing because they thought he was out-of-state working.

When investigators arrived at Shipley’s mobile home, they found the doors open and a shed unlocked.

One of his vehicles, a 1988 Jeep Comanche, was found Aug. 20, 2011, at an Oklahoma City apartment complex. Equipment including a generator and two airless paint sprayers were missing from the pickup.

Deputies have released a composite sketch and surveillance video of a man considered a person of interest in the case.

The man used Shipley’s credit cards Aug. 12, 2011, at a gas station and steak house in Norman and at a Home Depot in Oklahoma City a day later.

That man is white, about 50 years old, 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs about 250 pounds. He has short, light brown hair and a medium complexion.

Anyone with information about the case can call the McClain County sheriff’s office at (405) 527-2141.
