Kevin David Granados Perez was 17 when he left his family’s home in Cornelius, North Carolina, sometime between about midnight and 4:40 a.m. on July 28, 2019. He is a Guatemalan national, described as Hispanic, with black hair and brown eyes, between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 145 to 160 pounds. His family at first thought a relative in Austin, Texas, might have picked him up but had no contact information to confirm that.

Phone GPS data recovered under warrant shows Kevin’s device traveled north on I-85 to Spencer, North Carolina, on the day he disappeared, then there is a roughly six-hour gap before the phone next appeared in the Alexandria, Virginia, area. The device remained intermittently active around Northern Virginia through August 12, 2019, when the family discontinued service. Despite numerous calls and texts in English and Spanish from family and police, and some social media activity, Kevin did not respond; his family has said they did not believe he was in immediate danger.

The reasons for his departure and his current whereabouts are unknown. If anyone has information about Kevin, his movements after July 28, 2019, or possible contacts in the Alexandria or Northern Virginia area, please share what is known.
