6/7/2012: MISSING MAN: Corpus Christi, Texas: The daughter of Claude Wayne Hallmark has reported her 61-year-old father as a missing person. The daughter says she talks to her father on a daily basis, but she has not heard from him since last Thursday, 5/31/2012. Police are concerned due to Hallmark's medical condition. He drives a 1999 red Dodge Ram pickup. Neighbors living near his home on Brentwood and Shely were surprised to hear that Claude Hallmark is missing.
"It just shocked me that he's missing, I mean you see something like that on the news and you say oh that's the guy across the street." One neighbor said.
Another woman who lives across the street says Hallmark mowed lawns every morning.
"He'd get up and load up the truck and go do some lawns." She said.
Police say they checked on Hallmark's home yesterday but no one answered. Neighbors confirmed that Hallmark is home most of the time except for when he goes to Houston to visit his daughter.
According to neighbors living in the area it's not unusual for Claude to be gone for several days at time but it is strange that his daughter is the one who reported him missing.
"If she's the one reporting him missing then I find that alarming because if he does go anywhere it's to see her in Houston." A neighbor said.
Officers say a green pick up was parked on the street Wedneday when they checked on the home. However, Thursday afternoon, it had been moved. A neighbor told police she saw someone push the truck into the driveway but she could not identify them.
"I wouldn't even have thought about those people moving that truck, except for the fact that I just saw on the news that Hallmark is missing, I thought, wait a minute, I think the police need to know this." She said.
But neighbors living directly across the street say they've seen people over at Hallmark's house doing odd jobs while no one is there.
"If he's out of town, he'll ask people to come check on the house, I've seen them there every so often cleaning up the yard or things like that." A neighbor said.
Police are asking for help from the public. If you have any information on where Claude Hallmark could be, call Crime Stoppers at 888-TIPS.
