Kyle Andrew Carl Eppler, 20, was last seen July 28, 1999, in Naples, Florida. That morning he visited his mother at work, borrowed $20, and said he planned to see his girlfriend then go to his job at a local restaurant. He never arrived at either place and his family has had no contact since.

His 1988 Toyota Camry was found three hours from Naples at the Coastal Prairie Trail in Everglades National Park. The vehicle contained camping gear, clothes, food, and personal journals, and a shirt believed to be his was found several miles along a trail. A pair of hiking boots and a favorite hat were not recovered. Kyle was studying zoology at Santa Fe College, volunteered at animal shelters and worked on snake farms.

Kyle had a history of mental health struggles, including two prior suicide attempts, and was not taking his prescribed medication when he disappeared. Despite searches, no further clues have emerged and his whereabouts remain unknown. If anyone knew Kyle, his routines, or saw him around Naples or the Everglades in late July 1999, please share what you remember.
