On February 12, 2025, 39-year-old Kurt Andrew Hipp was last seen at a family member's apartment in Fairfield, California. An indoor surveillance camera at the residence captured footage of Hipp packing a Deadpool-themed backpack before leaving at approximately 5:30 p.m. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a black sweatshirt, grey sweatpants, and black shoes.
Hipp is described as a white male, 5'9" tall, weighing between 150 and 160 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. He has distinctive tattoos, including a red and black star on his right shoulder and a tribal-style tattoo on his right arm.
For two months prior to his disappearance, Hipp had been living with his relative in Fairfield. Before that, his living situation was less stable, as he sometimes stayed with other family members or friends, and had also experienced periods of being unhoused in Sacramento County. According to his family, it was uncharacteristic for him to be out of contact. They stated that he would typically let them know if he was going to be away for an extended period. His silence after February 12th was therefore a cause for significant concern. The Fairfield Police Department was notified, and an official report was filed on April 17, 2025.
Official reports later indicated the sad news that Kurt Hipp had been located deceased. An obituary confirms that he passed away on July 5, 2026. He was remembered as a kind, generous, and gentle soul who loved movies, cooking, and the beach, and who will be greatly missed by his family and friends. A celebration of his life was planned for later that month. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance and death have not been detailed publicly. This case began as a search for a missing person whose sudden lack of communication was out of character and ended with the heartbreaking discovery of his passing, leaving his loved ones to mourn his loss.Last Seen: Feb 12, 2025
