Kenneth John Ritchie was 27 when he disappeared from Citrus Springs, Florida, on September 8, 2012. He left a friend’s house that morning and called his mother about 8:30 a.m., saying he wanted to enter a rehabilitation program; that call was the last confirmed contact. His mother reported him missing that afternoon after she could not reach him again.

Kenneth was considered endangered missing because of a history of drug use. He was known to frequent the Chatmire area in Marion County, which has raised concerns about possible foul play. Distinctive tattoos include Ritchie on his left forearm and Summer on his right forearm. The Citrus County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate but reports no substantial leads; the family and investigators have followed many tips without a confirmed sighting.

If anyone saw Kenneth around September 8, 2012, in Citrus Springs or the Chatmire area, please share what was observed.
