Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP8489) and 1 other source
Kyle Alexander Ervin III, a 26-year-old man from San Antonio, Texas, went missing on August 21, 1990. Described as 6'1" to 6'3" tall, with brown hair and green eyes, he was last seen wearing blue jeans, a short-sleeved shirt, Red Wing boots, and a gold class ring from Culver Military Academy. His vehicle was found abandoned two days later on his family's property in Real County, Texas, but there was no trace of Kyle himself. His car being left behind raised concerns about foul play, though no concrete leads have surfaced in the years since his disappearance.

Kyle had two surgical scars on his abdomen, wore gold wire-framed glasses, and was sometimes known to have a mustache. Despite thorough investigations by local authorities, including DNA testing and multiple searches, his case remains unsolved. Family members and investigators continue to seek information that could provide answers in this enduring cold case.

Last Seen: Aug 21, 1990
