Missing in Houston: Almost 25 years later, family of Almond Gene Little still seeking answers

espite the passage of 25 years, Lovetta remains determined to find closure and unravel the mystery surrounding her father's vanishing.

<<“My dad disappeared in 1999. He had a son, who was murdered in 1996 on my oldest daughter’s birthday,” Lovetta shared. “My brother, before he was murdered, told me that Dad stole drugs from him. He said a guy threatened him if he didn’t come up with the money. Sure enough, he couldn’t come up with the large amount, and the guy followed through on the threat.”>>

<<“My father later said, before he disappeared, that the guy had threatened him too. It’s a strong possibility that the guy came back for my dad as well,” she shared. “He started talking about being burned up, and then he vanished. We haven’t heard anything since.”>>

<<The last time anyone remembers seeing Gene was in October 1999, and he was known to frequent the Acres Homes area of Houston>>

Details of Disappearance​

Little was last seen in Houston, Texas on October 8, 1999. He has never been heard from again. He was known to frequent the Acres Homes area of Houston at the time of his disappearance.

Little's daughter stated her father also had a son, who was murdered in 1996. Prior to his murder, Little's son told his sister that Little had stolen drugs from him, and that someone had threatened him, the son, unless he paid a large amount of money to compensate for the theft. The son was murdered after he was unable to pay. Prior to his 1999 disappearance, Little said the person who had killed his son had threatened his life also. Little's daughter thinks his disappearance could be related to this.

Some reports state that Little was homeless at the time of his disappearance. He would drop out of sight for weeks at a time and immerse himself in street life. For this reason, some time passed before he was reported missing. He was declared legally dead in 2021, and his case remains unsolved.

Cold case solved | Remains found of Houston man who vanished more than 25 years ago

For more than 2 decades, a Houston woman searched for answers in the disappearance of her father. She's relieved to finally have answers, but not the ones she wanted.

www.khou.com

''Houston police confirmed with KHOU 11 that the remains of Almond Gene Little, who disappeared without a trace in 1999, were found at the Harris County Cemetery. ''

''Cold case investigators learned that the father of five died at a hospital in 2000, but because no next of kin was located at the time, he was buried without his family’s knowledge.''

''Little-Smith said she believes the family was not notified immediately when Little died because her father was admitted to the hospital under his middle name, “Gene Little,” instead of his full name, “Almond Gene Little.”

Nov 17, 2025
Almond Gene Little's daughter told KHOU 11 that she spent years searching for him. “It took up a lot of my time. It took up a lot of my emotions," she said.
