Kermit Wayne Kendall, 39, was last seen in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on October 8, 1993. Reports describe him as a Black man, about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing roughly 190 to 200 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He had a forearm tattoo of the initials S M surrounded by hearts and was last reported wearing a black t-shirt with white writing and jeans.

Specific details of his movements on the day he vanished are scarce and the Winston-Salem Police Department’s investigation has produced few public leads. The case is entered in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System; DNA from his brother and maternal half-sister has been submitted to help with potential identification of remains. There are no clear public updates that resolve what happened.

If anyone knew Kermit, saw him in Winston-Salem in October 1993, or has information that could help, please come forward.
