In the autumn of 2017, a teenage boy named Kevis Andys Caseres-Alvarez vanished from his home in Knoxville, Tennessee. On the evening of September 17th, the 17-year-old Hispanic male reportedly left his residence. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as being 5 feet tall and weighing approximately 140 pounds, with curly black hair and brown eyes. He also had a goatee. The last time he was seen, he was wearing a gray sweater, beige pants, and yellow shoes, and was also wearing a silver chain. The circumstances surrounding Kevis's disappearance are intertwined with a family matter. He did not leave alone; he was accompanied by another individual, Odin Caseres Meza. The reason cited for their departure was a shared desire to avoid going to school. This act of leaving was reported to the Knoxville Police Department the following day, initiating an investigation into the whereabouts of the two individuals. The case was classified as an endangered runaway situation. Years have passed since Kevis and Odin were last seen, and their case remains unresolved. The initial report of two teens running away has since evolved into a long-term missing persons investigation. Information regarding their potential whereabouts or any contact since that September night is not publicly available. The Knoxville Police Department continues to list them as missing, a reminder of the day two young lives took an unknown turn. An overview of the case suggests a planned departure by two individuals, but the lack of any subsequent information has left their family and community with unanswered questions and enduring concern for their well-being.
