Kenneth Arrowood was reported missing from Black Mountain, North Carolina, on October 24, 1994. He was 65 at the time and a Buncombe County resident who favored one leg and used a walker on level ground. When last seen he wore a blue, white, and yellow shirt, glasses, and either blue or tan pants.

A notable and troubling detail is that his walker was left behind, suggesting he left suddenly or under unusual circumstances. Descriptions list blue eyes and graying hair. The Black Mountain Police Department filed the case, but there are no public details about where he might have been headed or any sign of foul play.
