Charles Howard Kindred III, 27, was last seen October 1, 2001, in Lakeland, Florida after dropping his three children at daycare. He later stopped at an auto parts store on State Route 60 and was observed speaking with two men. His white Ford F-150 was found abandoned soon afterward at a Lakeland Speedway convenience store; Kindred never returned home. He had sole custody of his children, and those who knew him described him as a devoted father, which made his disappearance out of character.

One of the last people seen with Kindred was Robert Levesque, later identified by investigators as a primary suspect. Kindred’s body has never been found and the circumstances remain suspicious.

If anyone knew Charles, saw his truck after October 1, 2001, or has information about his whereabouts, please share what is known.
