Kevin Smith, 26, was last seen on November 8, 2011, in Sherman Oaks, California, after driving from Miami to Los Angeles to return a vehicle to a dealership. On November 5 he bought a new iPhone in Sherman Oaks and updated contacts on Facebook with the new number. On November 8 he texted a friend in Los Angeles asking to stay with her because he could no longer afford his hotel; he never reached her and that was the last confirmed contact.

Kevin was expected at a concert on November 9 at Beyond the Stars Palace in Glendale, but it is unclear whether he attended. His vehicle and personal records show no activity after his disappearance. Family and friends have pursued leads for years, including contacting an estranged wife and an employer whose roles in his life at the time were unclear, and they hired a private investigator. Questions remain about whether pressures tied to an elder abuse legal matter affected him.

If anyone knew Kevin, saw him in November 2011, or has information about his movements in Los Angeles that week, please share what you know.
