Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP13081) and 4 other sources
In the winter of 2009, a 50-year-old man named Kevin P. Garfield vanished from Jefferson County, Missouri, leaving behind a life that was, by some accounts, transient. He was last seen in Festus, Missouri, on February 20, 2009. At the time of his disappearance, it is believed that Garfield was living out of his recreational vehicle. Described as a Caucasian male with brown hair and blue eyes, standing at 5'9' and weighing around 130 pounds, he had a distinctive tattoo of a lightning bolt on his right bicep. When he was last seen, he was wearing a navy blue sweatshirt, blue denim jeans, and a ball cap.

The circumstances surrounding Kevin Garfield's disappearance are shrouded in mystery, with few details available to the public. Approximately two months after he was last seen, on or about April 23, 2009, a significant piece of evidence in his case was discovered hundreds of miles away. Garfield's RV was found abandoned in Pensacola, Florida. The discovery of his vehicle so far from where he was last seen added a troubling layer to his case, raising more questions than answers about his well-being and what might have happened to him after he left Missouri.

Despite the passage of many years, the case of Kevin Garfield's disappearance remains unsolved. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office has been the primary investigating agency, but no significant leads have emerged to explain his disappearance or his RV's journey to Florida. Information suggests he might have been intending to travel to the Mobile, Alabama area. The lack of concrete information and the considerable time that has passed have left his family with unanswered questions. His case is a somber reminder of the many individuals who disappear each year, leaving behind loved ones to navigate a world of uncertainty and hope for a resolution that may never come.
