John Lee Krafft III, also known by his nickname "Duke," was last seen on November 2, 1992, in Hutchinson, Kansas. He was 20 years old at the time and was expected to meet his mother for dinner that evening, but never showed up. Krafft had struggled with alcohol and drug issues during his brief time at the University of Kansas, which led to him dropping out.
On the day of his disappearance, his mother told him he could not stay at her home unless he addressed his substance abuse issues. They parted ways with plans to meet for dinner later, but he was never heard from again.
John was riding a red 1986 Kawasaki motorcycle, which disappeared along with him. There were unconfirmed reports that he may have been stopped by ATF agents at the Mexican border on his motorcycle, but this has not been verified. Despite extensive investigations, no trace of John or his motorcycle has been found, and his mother had him legally declared dead in 1999. His case remains unsolved.
Krafft's disappearance has left his family searching for answers for decades, and authorities are still seeking any information that could lead to understanding what happened.Last Seen: Nov 2, 1992
