Kenneth W. Crowe, a 46-year-old computer consultant and self-employed web designer, was last seen September 10, 1998, in Santa Cruz, California. He lived alone in an apartment and that day contacted a client about a web project but did not follow up as planned. When he could not be reached he was reported missing a week later.

Crowe left behind fresh produce and a half-read book, which his family took as signs he had not planned to disappear. His 1993 Nissan Altima was found locked in a secluded turnout in Big Basin Redwoods State Park with no obvious signs of foul play. Police initially raised the possibility he had become lost while hiking or died by suicide, noting he had struggled with depression. The case is unsolved and investigators now consider foul play more likely because there have been no further clues.

If anyone knew Kenneth’s routines, where he spent time around Santa Cruz, or saw his Nissan in Big Basin around September 10, 1998, please share information.
