Kevin Collins

What happened

Kevin Andrew Collins, 10, was last seen at approximately 7:55 p.m. on February 10, 1984, waiting for a bus at the corner of Oak and Masonic Streets in San Francisco, California, after basketball practice, according to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. He was wearing a white shirt, a green sweater and brown corduroy pants. He has never been seen again. The California Department of Justice record says he was possibly abducted by two white males driving a four-door, royal blue 1967 Ford Galaxie.

The California Department of Justice describes Kevin as 4 feet 6 inches tall and 70 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes; NCMEC notes gray-green eyes and a small scar on his tongue. NCMEC has age-progressed his photograph to 39 years.

In January 2013, the San Francisco Police Department, assisted by the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, served a search warrant at a residence on the 1100 block of Masonic Avenue as part of its cold-case review of Kevin’s disappearance. Bones excavated there were preliminarily assessed as animal, not human, in origin. SFPD says the investigation is ongoing, and Kevin is still missing.
