Mitchell Manns, 38, vanished from Floyd County, Kentucky after being last seen on March 16, 1990, at the Triangle Mart in Martin. He was reportedly heading about ten miles toward McDowell Hospital but never arrived. Manns lived in Allen, Kentucky, and was described as a white male with brown shoulder-length hair, a goatee, hazel eyes, a ruddy complexion, a scar on his right hand, and a recent right elbow injury. He wore a white t-shirt, blue work pants, and white All Star tennis shoes when last seen.

Authorities classified the case as an endangered missing person matter and suspected foul play. Searches were conducted in the rugged hills and hollows of eastern Kentucky but turned up no sign of Manns or his possessions. Over time a possible link to Harry Eugene Hale, who was later convicted of an unrelated credit card fraud and had ties to other missing-person items, was considered; Hale was never charged in Manns’s disappearance. The Kentucky State Police list the case as open. If anyone knew Mitchell, his routes between Martin and McDowell Hospital, or saw him on or after March 16, 1990, please share what you know.
