Nguyen would be 31 years old. Campbell has not given up hope in finding him. She said she thinks about him all day, everyday.

“It’s terrible to be driving along a wooded area in the summertime, nice and lush, and you think to yourself, Is he out there?” Campbell said. “Is he in the woods next to that farmer’s land? Is he in that vacant house?”

It’s been over six years since Kevin Nguyen went missing after a night out in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Nguyen — 25 years old at the time — was last seen around 2:40 a.m. on Dec. 9, 2018, on surveillance video at an Arby’s on West Jefferson Blvd. Earlier, he had been at the Brass Rail Bar, where he “may have gotten involved in an altercation,” according to the FBI.

My name is Nic. I am from Fort Wayne, Indiana, where Kevin went missing in December 2018 he got into a conflict at a bar and walked about a mile to the Arby’s in cold weather. His sister was on her way to pick him up. he has seen on Arby’s video Walking past and has never seen again. Today I just found out his Facebook was randomly updated two years ago his work status “Meat Sack Viewer” what that means I do not know. I know his father has just recently passed. I’m not sure how much family is left. I know he has a sister. I just want to keep this fresh because honestly, I have heard that our own police department may be involved as they have never really investigated nor released any footage. All the footage obtained has been from the families going to these businesses. If anyone has any insight on this case, please Post below thank you Opie Taylor

Kevin Nguyen … when will we start talking about the FWPD??? The no investigation in this, the finding of evidence by family after they searched days later. FWPD connections to the owner of the bar and a wood chipping facility where his phone pinged last in CC. They never do any follow up interviews they never have it in the media WHEN ARE WE GANNA TALK ABOUT THAT???? Bring KEVIN HOME!

We haven't forgotten Kevin, but outside of the last report of the video from Arby's after the bar closed and a news update back in December (with nothing really new to report) there's been nothing out there for us as far as updates.

I've walked those very streets many times, when I lived there.

It was a really cold night, 9 degrees F, and he was not dressed for the weather. Left his coat at the bar if memory serves.

He was walking towards the Lutheran hospital, which had an extremely dark parking lot or lots at night, also it was dark behind the Arby's. The hospital is now gone. Along the side street going north from the area of Arby's, there were not any CCTV cameras to speak of, until the hospital.

This is one case for books. I know that area so well I could walk it blindfolded. Just defies any rational explanation.

I hope at some point we get an explanation.

I know and I don’t understand why. I mean there is no community push it just don’t seem like “anyone” wants to talk about it

 

[OpieTaylor]

And also sorry yall if it came off as the web sleuth community was forgetting about Kevin. I was meaning our community in general. I know there are a lot of Kevin soldiers out there waiting and looking for answers but being a Fort Wayne native for life almost. I eat at this Arby’s twice a month. It hits home

i will never stop

Do you have any more information on this? I used to live in Ft. Wayne and I 100% believe the cops are crooked.

My $.02.

If foul play was involved, say if he was being watched after leaving the bar, it would have been easy for someone to see where he was headed. The street grid in downtown FW has most of the streets at 90 degree angles, long lines of sight.

Dark parking lot behind Arby's. Dark parking lots beyond there.

Cold night, it got down to 9F.

The only info I have is supposedly the wood chipper farm where they refused to search at is owned by one of the top policeman‘s brothers or family. The absolute lack of investigation and updates to the public. This man just disappeared from our downtown. It just don’t happen around here.

That's horrible and really suspicious.

I worked with Kevin's family for several years. We think he was stalked after he left the bar and was picked up on Washington blvd by someone that falsely tried to befriend him that night at the Brass Rail. This person has also been identified by our tipper as someone that has known drug connections in Ft. Wayne and is possibly a suspect of a drug dealer shooting near a trailer park. This is a photo of Kevin that only the family had for a very long time. The guy on the right is the comedian that performed that night that later made jokes about Kevin going missing. The girl on the left found Kevin sitting on the outside stoop and asked him if he needed a ride home. She said Kevin acted really out of it but declined help. Our tipper also said that Kevin was driven to an unknown location that day somewhere up northeast where another family member lives. The irony of this all is that within a few days span another tipper came forward with the same name. This was mid December of 2022 I think. One tipper said he's dangerous and I have kids. The other said he was laughing and joking and saying he knew what happened to him. People in Ft. Wayne let loose a little around the holidays, do and say crazy stuff.

I've spoken about this case on the Ft. Wayne Reddit page with the same photo and was blocked from posting ever again in that group. Why!?

WOW, I have never heard of this. Is the comedian dangerous? Or someone else? do you know who tried to befriend him? northeast indiana, or northeast fort wayne??? I've been following his case since the beginning, I still have hope that they'll figure out what happened to him
