Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP98179)
Kevin Wayne Malone was 31 years old when he was last known to be in the Baton Rouge area of Louisiana on June 1, 2022. The public NamUs case entry identified him as a missing person under case MP98179, with Baton Rouge listed as the place of last contact and June 1, 2022, as the date of last contact. The case information available through NamUs described him as a White/Caucasian male with brown hair and blue eyes, about 5 feet 9 inches tall and 160 pounds, and it noted a distinctive tattoo of
the name “Sherry” on the left side of his neck.
The known public circumstances were limited, and that scarcity of detail is part of what made the case so difficult for anyone trying to understand what happened. The NamUs-linked information stated only that Kevin was last known to be in the Baton Rouge area, in East Baton Rouge Parish, and did not publicly provide a detailed timeline of his final known movements, who last saw him, where exactly he had been, or what may have happened afterward. Baton Rouge Police Department was listed as the investigating agency in the case information, with an agency case number of 79034-22 and a report date of August 12, 2022. The department’s public contact information lists its headquarters on Airline Highway in Baton Rouge and provides general police contact channels for the public.
As the case was recorded publicly, Kevin was not just a name in a database but a person whose absence would have left family, friends, and loved ones searching for answers. His description was specific enough that someone who knew him, crossed paths with him, or remembered seeing him in the Baton Rouge area might have recognized him: a 31-year-old man, brown-haired and blue-eyed, with the “Sherry” tattoo on his neck as a personal and visible identifying mark. The available records did not include public details about clothing, transportation, companions, or a confirmed destination, so the account of his disappearance remained spare and careful rather than conclusive.
The attached case data indicates that Kevin Malone’s case resolution status is Alive, meaning he has been found alive and this is no longer an active missing persons case. The exact date he was found is not clear from the available information, and the public details about the resolution are vague, so no specific recovery or located date can be stated with confidence. What can be said is that the case began with Kevin Wayne Malone last known to be in Baton Rouge on June 1, 2022, was documented through NamUs and investigated by Baton Rouge Police Department, and later moved out of active missing-person status after he was found alive; in overview, this was a Baton Rouge missing-person case involving a 31-year-old man whose publicly available disappearance details were limited, whose identifying information was preserved to help locate him, and whose case ultimately resolved with the most hopeful outcome possible.Last Seen: Jun 1, 2022
