On November 21, 2021, 61-year-old Kevin Hornburg was last seen in Jamestown, New York. He resided in an apartment on Prendergast Avenue with his brother, and a family friend had also been staying with them. The last person to see Hornburg was this friend, who reported that Hornburg left the apartment around 4:00 p.m. to find spare wood to fix a window and never came back. Hornburg had been experiencing significant health issues; about three months prior to his disappearance, he was in a coma for unknown reasons and was still weak. He also had mobility problems and needed a cane to walk. His disappearance was considered uncharacteristic, as he was not known to leave without notice or miss family holidays, and he missed Thanksgiving with his family just a few days after he was last seen.
The Jamestown Police Department began investigating Hornburg's disappearance and soon suspected foul play. This suspicion arose because it was out of character for him to be out of contact and he had not accessed any of his finances since he was last seen. Investigators stated they had conducted numerous interviews and received information suggesting that Hornburg was likely the victim of a crime. They believe there are individuals in the community who have information about what occurred. Hornburg's sister has expressed a belief that his disappearance may be connected to a stabbing incident that took place in front of his home ten days before he went missing.
In the years since he vanished, there have been no signs of Kevin Hornburg. His family, along with community members and organizations like the WNY Missing & Unidentified Persons group, have conducted numerous searches of parks, cemeteries, trails, and other areas in and around Jamestown. A reward has been offered for information leading to the arrest and indictment of anyone responsible for his disappearance. The case remains unsolved, and police are still seeking information from the public that could lead to a resolution and provide his family with the closure they deserve. This synopsis provides an overview of the case based on the available information regarding the disappearance of Kevin Hornburg.
