Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP54125) and 5 other sources
Tanner E. Harper, a 22-year-old man, was last seen in Louisville, Kentucky, on December 13, 2018. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance have left his family and community searching for answers. The last known detail of his whereabouts was the discovery of his unoccupied vehicle in downtown Louisville, near the 2nd Street bridge. This finding marked the beginning of a prolonged and painful period of uncertainty for those who know and love him. The Jeffersontown Police Department is handling the investigation into his disappearance.

At the time he went missing, Tanner was described as a white male, standing between 5'9' and 5'10' and weighing approximately 130 to 135 pounds. He had black, medium-length hair and hazel eyes. One of his distinguishing physical features is that he has scoliosis. When he was last seen, he was thought to be wearing blue jeans, a navy blue t-shirt, and a dark gray and black zip-up hoodie with a white zipper and pull strings. He was also wearing dark-colored shoes and a black smart watch with a round face.

The investigation into Tanner's disappearance has been ongoing since December 2018. Despite the passage of time, very little information has been made public about the case, leading to a great deal of speculation and concern. The lack of new leads has been a source of frustration for his loved ones, who continue to hope for any information that might lead to his whereabouts. The case serves as a somber reminder of the ambiguity and sorrow that surrounds missing persons cases, as a family waits for any news about their son.
