Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP24069) and 2 other sources
Kevin Gale, a 54-year-old man, was last seen on May 27, 2008, near the 23000 block of Palm Canyon Lane in Malibu, California. He was walking in the area when he disappeared, leaving behind his gray Honda Civic, which was later found parked near the Malibu Inn along the Pacific Coast Highway. Despite search efforts, there have been no further sightings of Kevin since that day, and his case remains unresolved.

Kevin is described as a Caucasian male, standing about 6'0" tall and weighing around 165 pounds, with sandy-colored hair. At the time of his disappearance, little evidence was found that could explain what may have happened to him. His case is documented in missing person databases, and authorities continue to encourage anyone with information to come forward to help resolve this long-standing mystery.
