In the early hours of February 15, 2013, Kael Johnson, a 36-year-old dental student in Las Vegas, Nevada, had reason to celebrate. He had just received his final exam grades and had earned straight A's. He told his roommate he was going out to mark the occasion. Surveillance footage captured him at a 7-Eleven convenience store around 2:00 a.m., where he withdrew money from an ATM and made a few small purchases. After leaving the store, Kael Johnson was never heard from again.
He was last seen wearing a dark-colored shirt, pants, and red and white sneakers.
The days turned into weeks with no word from Kael. A significant development in the case came on February 28, 2013, when his silver 2004 Dodge Ram pickup truck was discovered abandoned at the Wetlands Park Nature Preserve. This was a location that friends and family thought was plausible for Kael to visit, as he was known to be an outdoorsman. Inside the recovered vehicle were his wallet and cell phone, suggesting that robbery was not a likely motive for his disappearance. Further investigation of surveillance footage showed his truck entering the park on the morning of his disappearance, but due to a glare, it was impossible to identify the driver.
Kael Johnson is described as a Black male, standing at 6'1' and weighing approximately 240 pounds at the time he went missing. He has black hair and brown eyes, and several distinguishing tattoos, including a Chinese symbol on his lower abdomen and an astrological sign on his left leg. He also went by the names Meekaael Collins and Ky Collins. Despite the discovery of his vehicle, the circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear. His failure to enroll for the next semester of his dental program was uncharacteristic, and his case continues to be an active investigation with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. The lack of any further contact or evidence has left his family with unanswered questions.Last Seen: Feb 15, 2013
