The missing person report for Roger Clark, 64, was filed with the Clinton County Sheriff's Office around 8 p.m. Saturday when he didn't return home from a trip to the family farm. Deputies helped Clark's family look for him but they were unsuccessful.

A homeowner discovered the SUV around 10 a.m. Sunday in 3100 block of E. State Road 47 in Lebanon.
