John Brent McGhee, 42, was last seen on July 11, 2024, in White County, Arkansas. What began as a tense family visit would become the last confirmed day anyone saw him.
Brent and his wife had reportedly been experiencing marital difficulties. On July 11, they visited Brent’s mother. According to family members, the visit ended abruptly after an argument, and Brent’s wife left upset.
Later that day, Brent stopped briefly at a cousin’s home. After that visit, he vanished.
An eyewitness later reported seeing Brent in front of a residence belonging to a man described as his wife’s close friend. According to that witness, Brent appeared to be outside the home, and individuals present allegedly stated he would not be allowed inside.
This sighting has become significant in the investigation.
Search dogs were later deployed and reportedly tracked Brent’s scent to the same area. The dogs lost the trail just beyond the property line. Law enforcement did not conduct a search of the home at that time.
The following day, Brent’s wife checked into a battered women’s shelter. After completing that program, she entered a mental health facility. According to family members, she did not report Brent missing.
Brent’s family, concerned by the circumstances, began conducting their own searches. They eventually hired a private investigator to assist.
During one review of Brent’s residence, family members and investigators reportedly identified areas that reacted to luminol testing, indicating the possible presence of blood. Law enforcement documented the findings, but no public updates have been released regarding forensic results.
Volunteers have conducted multiple searches in the area. Items believed to be relevant were turned over to authorities. According to the family, some evidence was later deemed unusable due to deterioration.
As of today, no charges have been filed. No public arrests have been made.
Brent McGhee remains missing.
His family continues to ask:
• Why was a search warrant never obtained for the residence where his scent reportedly ended?
• Why have there been no public updates despite eyewitness statements?
• What conclusions, if any, have investigators reached regarding the forensic findings?
In missing person cases, time is critical. The longer evidence sits, the harder it becomes to verify.
If you have credible information regarding the disappearance of John Brent McGhee, contact the appropriate authorities in White County, Arkansas.
His family is still searching for answers.

This case is brought to you by Bones Coffee Company and my latest book “Madhouse Madison County.”
Madhouse Madison County
Chaos rules in a small Southeastern Missouri County. Madison County spans 500 square miles and has a population of approximately 13,000 people. The county seat is Fredericktown with a population of approximately 4,000 people. This rural county should be a safe place in beautiful Americana, but it hides a dark secret. Fredericktown is one of the most dangerous places to live in America. Check out this quote from neighborhoodscout.com.
“With a crime rate of 31 per one thousand residents, Fredericktown has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes – from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One’s chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 32.”
I started researching one case sent to me by a desperate grandmother. That case led me to fifteen more. Then I realized this county has had murder, corruption, and chaos since before the Wild West days. This book will start with a lynching by a Fredericktown mob in 1844. Hold onto your seats when you read this one. You’re in for a wild, chaotic ride through rural Missouri.
