Hubert Tommy Hansel Larkins was 46 when he was last seen around Christmas 1977 leaving his home at 809 Riverside Avenue in Kingsport, Tennessee. Family accounts said he might have been traveling to New Orleans with friends, but there was no confirmed communication after he left and details about companions and itinerary are vague.

The case took a darker turn when his brother, Albert Bud Larkins, later reportedly confessed to killing Hubert at the Riverside Avenue house. In 1981 authorities searched the basement of Albert’s home with assistance from the Knoxville Forensic Anthropology Center, but found no human remains or evidence to corroborate the confession.

With no body and no decisive physical evidence, Hubert’s whereabouts remain unknown and the case unresolved. Does anyone have information about Hubert Tommy Larkins, his movements in late 1977, or the people he was said to be traveling with?
