Kevin Lee Gilpin was 18 when he vanished after being dropped off by his father on Old Columbia Road in Campbellsville, Kentucky. He was a resident of Russell Springs and was reported missing on April 9, 1997; that was the last time anyone saw him alive.

On June 18, 2003, human remains were recovered from a hand-dug well on a farmhouse property in neighboring Casey County. Kentucky State Police used a DNA sample from Kevin’s mother to confirm the remains were his, and the case was reclassified as a homicide.

Investigators have pursued leads but say the local community has been largely silent, and the case remains unsolved. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified.

If anyone knew Kevin, saw him in Campbellsville in April 1997, or has information about the farmhouse or well, please share what you know.
