Six-year-old Kelly Hollan Jr disappeared from his front yard in the Pinetree Hollow area of Knott County, Kentucky, on a snowy day in February 1982. School had been canceled for the storm; Kelly was allowed outside around 11 a.m. wearing a blue winter coat with a hood and blue jeans. He was small for his age, had brown hair and blue eyes, and had a cleft palate that left a speech impediment and a scar on the left side of his face between his nose and upper lip.

Kelly’s mother, Judy Moore, last saw him playing in the yard at about 4:00 p.m. She left briefly to take a phone call at a neighbor’s house and when she returned he was gone. She could not contact police until around midnight and the official search did not begin in earnest until the next morning, hampered by the severe weather.

Initial theories suggested he may have wandered off and succumbed to the elements or fallen into abandoned mines, but the case later shifted to suspected abduction. A tip led investigators to dig up the family’s concrete porch; nothing was found. Reported sightings in other states were pursued but Kelly remains missing. Does anyone have information about Kelly’s movements that February day or recall seeing a small boy matching his description in the area?
