Found this on The Unsolved in Kentucky / January 2026 post on FB:
!His vehicle found burned!

Important details: Carson was driving a 1986 black 4-door Mercury Topaz which was found burned. Carson has ever been located. There was a possible unconfirmed sighting toward the Mount Sterling area, but no leads panned out.
This very cold case from rural eastern Kentucky remains active and unsolved—no updates or resolution as of early 2026. Few details have ever been released publicly.
