Donald Eugene Hunnicutt, 56, known as DonDee, disappeared from Kentwood (a Grand Rapids suburb) on September 3, 2022. He was last seen at a cousin’s home near 44th Street SE and Bowen Boulevard. A Grand Rapids resident who relied on walking and public transit, he is described as six feet two inches, about 170 pounds, bald (sometimes wearing weaves), with brown eyes, scars on his face and arms, and tattoos of music notes and the initials DH on his arm. On the day he went missing he wore a white t-shirt and either blue or black shorts.

A missing persons report was filed in September 2022. Police initially said there was no sign of suspicious circumstances, but in late 2024 investigators found his EBT card had been used on September 26, 2022, by an extended family member. That discovery led police to open a parallel homicide inquiry while the missing persons case remained active; the case is now with the cold case team. The family continues to seek answers.

If anyone knew Donald, his routines, or saw him near 44th Street SE and Bowen Boulevard in early September 2022, please come forward with information.
