Kenneth Wayne Wright-Fletcher was 21 when he disappeared from Searchlight, Nevada, in early June 2021 after traveling there to make contact with his girlfriend. Family contact broke down when he stopped answering calls; his mother, who normally spoke with him every few days, became concerned and drove to Searchlight to look for him after the girlfriend’s father phoned asking her to come get his son. That search turned up nothing.

Kenneth’s mother distributed flyers in the area and formally reported him missing to the Henderson Police Department on June 10, 2021. She told investigators about the phone call and her unsuccessful search; she also relayed disturbing third-hand rumors she’d heard that Kenneth had been killed, though there was no evidence to support those rumors. He had not contacted family since he disappeared, which was out of character.

In December 2025 the Henderson Police Department said it had received new information and asked the public for help, without disclosing specifics. The case remains open and active. If anyone saw or spoke with Kenneth around early June 2021 in Searchlight or has information about the phone call to his mother, please come forward.
