Kadin Mitchell Eli Crabtree was 16 years old when he was reported missing after being last seen in Antioch, Tennessee, on January 14, 2025. Public missing-person notices identify Kadin as a male teenager and place the beginning of the case in Antioch, a community within the Nashville metropolitan area. Although some publicly accessible listings contain conflicting age information, reports describing his age at the time of disappearance identify him as 16. The available notices provide few details about the circumstances surrounding his last known sighting, leaving unanswered questions about where he was going, whom he may have been with, and what occurred after he was last seen. This absence of information has made the case especially difficult for those waiting for news, as the known timeline begins with a specific day and location but offers little explanation for what followed.
As information about Kadin's disappearance circulated, alerts emphasized that he might have remained somewhere in the Antioch or greater Nashville area. They also raised the possibility that he could have traveled to Knoxville, Tennessee, extending the area in which members of the public were asked to remain attentive. Kadin was described as wearing glasses, a simple but potentially important identifying characteristic for anyone who may have encountered him after January 14. The publicly reported case number is M938243494, providing a reference that can help distinguish his case from other missing-child reports. Beyond those details, online notices do not provide a verified account of his clothing, transportation, destination, communications, or activities immediately before he disappeared. The limited information means that even an observation that once appeared ordinary could be significant when considered alongside the known locations and timeline.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department has been identified as the law-enforcement agency associated with efforts to locate Kadin. The department serves Nashville and the surrounding metropolitan community and can be reached through its official non-emergency contact number, 615-862-8600. Authorities and missing-child organizations generally depend on information from relatives, friends, acquaintances, motorists, local residents, and others who may remember seeing a missing young person or recognize details connected to the case. In Kadin's disappearance, the possibility that he remained near Antioch or traveled toward Knoxville makes information from either region potentially relevant. Anyone with credible knowledge should provide it directly to law enforcement rather than attempting to investigate independently, particularly because unverified speculation can distract from confirmed facts and cause additional pain to the people who care about him.
Kadin's case is defined by a small number of confirmed public details and a much larger number of unanswered questions. He was a 16-year-old boy last seen in Antioch on January 14, 2025; he wore glasses, may have remained in the local area, and may have traveled to Knoxville. No detailed public narrative explains why he left, whether his departure was planned, how he may have traveled, or where he went afterward. The lack of publicly released circumstances does not lessen the seriousness of his disappearance; instead, it underscores how dependent the search may be on someone recognizing his name, remembering an encounter, or recalling a detail that did not initially seem important. Overall, the case concerns a teenage boy who vanished from the Antioch area with few publicly known clues, prompting an effort centered on locating him, clarifying his movements after his last known sighting, and bringing answers to the people awaiting word about his welfare.
