Kevin Flythe, a 52-year-old man with significant health challenges, was reported missing on January 27, 2022, after being released from a federal correctional institution in Glenville, West Virginia. Mr. Flythe, a stroke victim, had considerable difficulty with speech and weakness in both of his arms. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as a Black male, standing 5'7" and weighing between 190 and 200 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
He was last seen wearing blue jeans, a gray t-shirt, and a navy blue zip-up jacket.
The circumstances surrounding his disappearance began after he was granted an early release from prison due to his declining health. On the morning of January 27, 2022, prison officials transported him to the Greyhound bus station in Charleston, West Virginia, dropping him off at approximately 6:32 a.m. His family and attorneys were reportedly not given the exact date of his release. Mr. Flythe was scheduled to board a 9:50 a.m. bus with a planned route to Washington, D.C., where his family was waiting for him. The itinerary included transfers in several cities, including Cleveland, Ohio.
Concern grew when Mr. Flythe never arrived at his destination in Washington, D.C. A missing persons report was filed, and a multi-state search was initiated, with particular focus on the cities along his intended bus route. Investigators later found surveillance footage from the Cleveland bus station on February 2, 2022, showing a person believed to be Mr. Flythe near the ticket counter. This was the last potential sighting, increasing the urgency and distress for his loved ones who were deeply worried about his well-being given his vulnerable condition.
After a period of uncertainty, Kevin Flythe has been located and is alive. The specific details regarding the date and circumstances of his discovery have not been made widely available, but the case is no longer considered an active missing persons investigation.Last Seen: Jan 27, 2022
