Kevin was last spotted waiting for the bus after basketball practice. Now, some folks say he was chatting with a tall guy with a black dog – which, let's be honest, doesn't exactly scream "friendly encounter." Poof! Kevin was gone. No sign, no trace, just a whole lot of unanswered questions.

His picture was plastered on milk cartons across the country, a constant reminder that sometimes, even in broad daylight, people just...disappear. Newsweek magazine even featured him on their cover – talk about high-profile missing! Despite the intense media spotlight, Kevin remained frustratingly elusive.
