Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP139970) and 1 other source
In the winter of 2025, concern grew for a 33-year-old man from Knoxville, Tennessee, named Kevin D. Holmes. His family last had contact with him on January 17th of that year. At the time he went missing, Kevin was described as a white male, standing between 5 feet 9 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall, and weighing between 160 and 165 pounds. He has brown hair and green eyes. The days turned into weeks with no word, prompting his family to report him missing.

The Knoxville Police Department opened an investigation into Kevin's disappearance. Detective Christopher Bell was assigned to the case, and an appeal was made to the public for any information that might help locate him. His case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under case number MP139970, a national database that helps coordinate efforts between law enforcement agencies and provides a resource for families of the missing. The report was officially filed with the police on February 19, 2025.

As time passed, public updates on the investigation have been scarce. The circumstances surrounding the last time his family heard from him have not been publicly detailed, leaving a void of information. The lack of new information has left his family, friends, and community with unanswered questions and deepening worry for his well-being. The Knoxville Police Department continues to ask that anyone with information regarding Kevin Holmes' whereabouts contact them at 215-7000. The case remains an active search for a loved one whose absence is deeply felt.
