Kent Jacobs… Missing March 10, 2002

The last time Kent’s Mother saw him was on Sunday March 10, 2002. He peeked in on her in the den. Shortly after that he left the family home to visit his old neighborhood, approx. two miles away. This was something Kent enjoyed and had done for the past 25 years.

He was last seen at 5:00 p.m. that Sunday, wearing a Harley-Davidson sweatshirt, blue jeans and black Reebok sneakers in the Colonial Heights area of Hope Mills, North Carolina.

When he did not meet his 5:00-6:00 p.m. curfew. His mother, after speaking with her daughter in Seattle, contacted authorities. Kent's younger sister knew that something was terribly wrong! Her brother had a routine and that routine was disrupted. He had never been late for curfew.

Kent has mental retardation and would not have the intellectual capacity to initially sense danger.

The authorities have been searching for Kent, but continue to hit dead ends. He disappeared only a few yards from Interstate 95, which is a major interstate that stretches from New York to Florida.

Kent was last seen wearing a Harley-Davidson sweatshirt, blue jeans and black Reebok
