Justin Burt, 32, was last seen in the late hours of a September evening near Angelina Road in Louisville, Kentucky. He had a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and was not carrying his medication when he disappeared, which prompted his family to report him missing to the Bullitt County Sheriff’s Office after he failed to return or make contact.

Investigators focused on neighbors Nicole and Brandon Stivers. In November 2020 Nicole Stivers was arrested and, according to arrest documents, admitted stabbing Burt in the abdomen. Her statements about what happened afterward reportedly changed: she initially said she forced him into her vehicle, drove him to the Indiana side of the Ohio River, and pushed him in; she later said she left him near Churchill Downs. Brandon Stivers was arrested in February 2022. Both have been charged with kidnapping, assault, and tampering with physical evidence.

Despite the arrests and the conflicting accounts, Justin Burt has not been located and the Sheriff’s Office believes others may have information. If anyone knew Justin, his routines, or saw anything on the night he vanished, can you share what you remember?
