Kevin Patrick Mcerlean was 42 when a family member dropped him off in Aberdeen, Washington, in early spring 2016; that was the last time his family saw him. His last confirmed contact came a short time later, on March 31, 2016, during an encounter with the Aberdeen Police Department. After that date he did not reach out to family or have any further law enforcement interactions.

A Caucasian man with brown hair and blue eyes, Kevin was about 6 feet tall and 250 pounds. He had distinctive vertical and horizontal scars near his right eye from a childhood dog attack. When last seen he wore a black heavy coat, Carhartt work pants, and a hospital admittance bracelet. He had no permanent address, no vehicle and no valid driver’s license or ID; he reportedly had no known family or friends in Aberdeen and may have worked as a house painter for a time.

The disappearance wasn’t reported to Aberdeen police until February 14, 2018. The case remains active and unresolved; investigators note a sparse digital footprint and the transient circumstances that make tracing his movements difficult. If anyone saw Kevin in or around Aberdeen in March 2016 or remembers a man matching his description, please share what you know.
