Kylan Patrick Stubler was 17 when he disappeared from Columbia, Missouri. He was last seen on April 22, 2011, after spending the previous night at a friend’s house and, at about 2:00 p.m., reportedly being picked up by an unknown person. Kylan is biracial, described as 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, 140 to 155 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes; he was last seen wearing a gray sweatshirt, jeans, and Jordan sneakers.

At the time he went missing Kylan did not have a permanent residence and was staying with friends. He had been applying for jobs and planned to attend summer school and then enroll at Hickman High School in the fall. His mother reported him missing the day after he was last seen, noting that his unresponsiveness was out of character. A month later a warrant was issued for failing to appear on a felony marijuana charge, but family and the prosecutor did not think he was intentionally evading authorities. There was some speculation he might have traveled to St. Louis, and police initially treated the case as a runaway in some records before investigating it as a missing person. The family offered a $10,000 reward and detectives have periodically renewed appeals for information.

Anyone who knew Kylan, saw him in Columbia or St. Louis in April 2011, or has information about the unknown person who picked him up is asked to come forward.
