At the time she was last seen, Clark was reportedly in the company of a woman identified as Candaice “Deval” Winston, along with an unidentified African American male. Police have not publicly released additional details regarding the circumstances of that encounter and have emphasized that the investigation remains active.

• Eyes: Brown
• Hair: Black with distinctive red tips

She was last seen wearing winter appropriate clothing, including:

• A red hooded sweatshirt layered under a pink jacket
• Tan or gray pants

Authorities have classified Clark as medically endangered, a designation used when a missing person may be at risk of serious harm or death without assistance.
