The Arkansas State Police have issued a Missing/Endangered Advisory for a White County teenager who has been missing since mid-December.
Authorities say 17-year-old Jacob Ray Goodwin was last seen at his residence on Highway 367 in McRae between midnight and 3 a.m. on Thursday, December 18, 2025. Investigators believe he left his home during that time and has not been seen since.
Jacob is described as a white male, approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighing about 220 pounds, with brown to reddish hair. He was last seen wearing a green hoodie printed with “Searcy Sheet Metal” and black pants.
Because of his age and the length of time he has been missing, authorities consider Jacob to be endangered. The Arkansas State Police and local law enforcement continue to investigate and are asking the public for assistance.
Anyone with information regarding Jacob Ray Goodwin’s whereabouts is urged to contact White County Dispatch at (501) 279-6241. Callers with information are encouraged to come forward as soon as possible to assist in the ongoing search.
Officials say additional updates will be released as more information becomes available.
