Kenneth Manning was 58 when he was last seen in Chicago’s South Loop, on the 1400 block of South Canal Street, on March 15, 2017. At the time of his disappearance there were concerns he might be in need of medical attention. He was described as medium-brown complexion, 6 feet 2 inches tall, about 170 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

After more than three years with no confirmed sightings, Manning was found deceased on November 1, 2020, in a tent under a viaduct in the 700 block of West Wilson Avenue in the Uptown neighborhood, miles from his last known location. Authorities said the circumstances did not appear to be criminal and the Cook County medical examiner was to determine the official cause of death.

The gap between his last confirmed whereabouts and where he was found raises questions about what happened during those years and how he traveled across the city. Anyone who knew Kenneth, saw him after March 15, 2017, or has information about his movements is asked to come forward.
