Kenneth Wayne Turner, a 79-year-old Black man, was last seen by family at his Fieldale, Virginia, home on Massie Drive on April 12, 2024 and reported missing the next day. He is described as 6 feet 4 inches tall, 225–240 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes. At disappearance he reportedly wore navy blue nylon sweatpants and white socks, with no shirt or shoes; his vehicle remained at the residence, and it is believed he left on foot.

A large-scale, multi-agency ground search covered more than a one-mile radius and lasted four days before being suspended on April 16, 2024; deputies said they would continue targeted searches and follow up on tips. Authorities say there is no evidence of foul play and consider that he may have walked away or been given a ride, though they have also told the family he is likely deceased. The case remains open and investigators continue to check leads, including unverified sighting reports in other counties.

Anyone who knew Kenneth or has information about his whereabouts is asked to contact the Henry County Sheriff’s Office.
