Kevin Andre Gardner, 34, was last seen on February 11, 1996, leaving his mother’s home in Mulberry/Pierce, Florida on foot at about 12:30 p.m. He hasn’t been heard from since. At the time he disappeared he was wearing a beige long-sleeved shirt, faded jeans, sneakers and a Florida Seminoles hat, wore his hair in a ponytail and was partially blind.

Authorities have long suspected foul play. The case file mentions anonymous tips that Gardner may have been killed and notes a theory that his disappearance could be linked to criminal activity, possibly involving a drug gang, but no tip or lead has been confirmed. Forensic and investigative efforts have not produced conclusive evidence about his whereabouts.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate. If anyone saw Kevin around Mulberry or Pierce on February 11, 1996, or has information about his disappearance, please come forward. What information can readers add about Kevin’s last known movements or associates?
