Harley Owen Kern was 20 when he went missing from Independence, Louisiana, in the summer of 2022. He was last seen and last in contact with family on July 7, 2022. At the time he was known to be living on the streets; he is 5 feet 11 inches, about 140 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

Authorities noted he might have been in the Roseland, Louisiana area after he was last seen. The Independence Police Department handled the investigation but public details about the circumstances leading up to his disappearance were sparse and few leads were reported.

A later update indicates Harley’s profile was removed from the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System and the Louisiana State University repository for missing people, suggesting he was located, but no date, location, or circumstances of that outcome have been disclosed. Does anyone in Independence or Roseland have information about Harley’s whereabouts in July 2022?
