Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP52630) and 5 other sources
Kevin Lee Hawkins was 56 years old when he was last seen in Spencer, Indiana, on July 10, 2018. At the time of his disappearance, he was experiencing homelessness and was well-known in the Owen County area. Despite his circumstances, it was considered out of character for him to not keep in touch with his family, which caused them to worry when he stopped making contact. He was known to have a small campsite set up along the railroad tracks near the White River, a place where he would often stay and keep his personal belongings. His family grew concerned when he broke his routine of regular communication, leading them to believe that something unfortunate may have happened to him.

Kevin is described as a white male, standing at 5'8" and weighing around 145 pounds. He had graying brown hair, which was long at the time he went missing, and gray eyes. He also had a salt-and-pepper beard. His loved ones have described him as a non-threatening individual, but they also expressed concern that his transient lifestyle could have put him in a vulnerable or dangerous situation. The lack of any communication or sightings of Kevin since that July day has been a source of ongoing pain and uncertainty for his family.

The Owen County Sheriff's Department has been handling the investigation into Kevin's disappearance. Despite the passage of time, his case remains unsolved, and there have been no significant leads to indicate his whereabouts. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are still unclear, leaving his family with many unanswered questions. The case serves as a somber reminder of the challenges and dangers faced by individuals experiencing homelessness, and the profound impact a person's disappearance has on their loved ones. His family continues to hope for answers and closure.
