Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP147495)
Kitson Rowe, a 50-year-old Black male from Miami, Florida, was last seen on January 29, 2000. At the time of his disappearance, Rowe stood between 5'8" and 5'10" tall and weighed approximately 135 to 145 pounds. He had short black hair and brown eyes. According to the NamUs database, Rowe was reportedly distressed over a pending divorce and left his residence driving a white 1981 Mercedes-Benz coupe. He never returned, and his whereabouts remain unknown.

The vehicle he was driving bore Florida license plate B38FRC, which was set to expire in 2000. There is no publicly available information indicating whether the vehicle was ever recovered. No distinctive physical features or clothing descriptions were documented at the time of his disappearance. The case was reported to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office on January 31, 2000, and has remained open since then. The investigating agency assigned the case number PD250710201806, and Detective Suzanne Gowdie was listed as the missing persons contact.

Despite the passage of over two decades, there have been no confirmed sightings or developments in Rowe’s case. His disappearance has not been linked to any known criminal activity, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The case remains unsolved, and Rowe is still listed as missing in national databases. As of 2025, he would be 76 years old if alive.
