Dwight Clark Found: Dead Student's Body Pulled Out From Shore

Dwight Clark Found

Police have uncovered a body which was found off a dock near the former Georgia-Pacific log pond Wednesday morning, Oct. 6. The body is presumed to be that of missing Western Washington University student Dwight A. Clark.
Police haven’t released any information on whether or not this is Clark’s body. His mother has been notified of the finding, due to the possibility of the media speaking to her about this first.


Spokesman Mark Young told The Bellingham Herald the body had been in the water for several days.

The 18-year-old freshman from Auburn was last seen leaving a party in the 1000 block of Indian Street about 2 a.m. Sept. 26.

Police said the last possible trace of him was a blank text message sent from his cell phone at 2:40 a.m. Sunday. They were able to determine the phone was in the downtown area at the time.
