Charles Howard Kindred III, a 27-year-old man, was last seen on October 1, 2001, after dropping off his children at daycare in Lakeland, Florida. He later visited an auto parts store on State Route 60, where he was seen speaking with two men. Kindred never returned home, and his white Ford F-150 was found abandoned at a Lakeland Speedway convenience store shortly afterward. Kindred was a devoted father with sole custody of his three children, making his sudden disappearance highly unusual.
