Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP65262) and 3 other sources
Kevin Isham, a 54-year-old man, was last seen by his family in January 2018, though he was officially reported missing on February 21, 2018, from San Diego, California. Kevin, who was known to frequent areas in Chula Vista and downtown San Diego, was experiencing homelessness at the time of his disappearance. He had a distinct limp and was known to use public transportation, which might help people recognize him. Kevin is described as a Caucasian male, about 5'11" and weighing 130 pounds, with brown hair.

Despite being a transient, his sudden disappearance remains concerning, especially as he had been in contact with his family up until shortly before he went missing. His case is still open, with investigators seeking public assistance in uncovering new leads. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the relevant authorities.
