Kerry Adriel Seifried, a 36-year-old man, was last known to have been in Old Fort, Tennessee, on June 6, 2026. At the time, he had been staying at a residence in the 2000 block of U.S. Highway 411 in Polk County. When Kerry was discovered to be missing from that residence, there was little publicly available information to explain where he had gone, whether he had left on his own, or what may have occurred before his disappearance. The uncertainty surrounding those first hours and days left those concerned about him without a clear direction or explanation. The Polk County Sheriff's Department opened an investigation under agency case number 2026-0847, and the matter was reported to law enforcement on June 24, 2026. Kerry's disappearance was subsequently entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as NamUs case MP160125.
Investigators released identifying information intended to help members of the public recognize Kerry. He was described as a White man approximately 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighing about 195 pounds. He had hazel eyes, gray or partially gray hair of average length, and a beard. Several distinctive features could have helped distinguish him from others, including a scar between his eyes resulting from a childhood accident and two scars in his groin area from a medical procedure performed during childhood. He also had tattoos on his arm depicting an apple and the initials "KAOS." No public information was entered regarding the clothing he may have been wearing when he disappeared, any personal belongings he may have carried, or a vehicle connected to his movements. With the circumstances of his departure unknown and no publicly documented timeline beyond the residence on U.S. Highway 411, the case initially centered on locating Kerry and confirming his safety rather than on any publicly identified theory about what had happened.
The Polk County Sheriff's Department served as the lead investigating agency, with Detective Cody Day identified as the case contact. Publicly available records did not describe specific searches, witness statements, sightings, communications, or evidence developed during the investigation, leaving much of the effort to locate Kerry outside public view. That lack of detail should not be interpreted as proof that investigators had no information; it means only that additional investigative findings were not included in the public case record. The official case information has since reported that Kerry was found alive. The precise date, location, and circumstances of his recovery have not been publicly disclosed, and no further details have been released explaining where he had been during the period in which he was missing. His NamUs record was archived, meaning this is no longer an active missing-person case. Although many questions about his disappearance remain unanswered publicly, the case began when Kerry vanished under unclear circumstances from the Old Fort residence where he had been staying, prompted an investigation by the Polk County Sheriff's Department, and ultimately concluded with the most important outcome: Kerry was located alive.
