Alex Gardner, a 22-year-old University of Missouri student, disappeared from his Kansas City home in the spring of 2023. He was last seen on April 20 near Northwest 59th Terrace and Kirkwood Avenue and had told others he was headed to his father’s residence but never arrived. All communication stopped after that sighting.

At the time he vanished Alex was described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches, 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt. Authorities were concerned he needed medical attention for unspecified reasons. His blue 2009 Honda CRV was later found abandoned in an unincorporated area of Platte County, Missouri, which intensified search efforts.

The Kansas City Police Department and the Missouri State Highway Patrol circulated information and continue to treat the case as an active missing person investigation. If anyone knew Alex, saw him on or after April 20, 2023, or has information about the CRV, please come forward.
