Kenneth Cutting, 22 years old

The family said they received a text from their roommates around 2 a.m. explaining the situation and went to Houston police as soon as they saw him in the morning.

“My family really needs answers, we want him to come home safely,” said Lauren Freeman, Kenneth’s cousin.

She says Kenneth has never been missing for a long period of time and it is extremely unusual for him not to have his phone.

“It’s not like anything he’s ever done. He’s never run away, he’s never been gone for a long time, this has never happened. My family is extremely worried about him,” she said.

Houston police said a detective is on the case and they are investigating.

“Since we heard the news, we haven’t stopped. From sunup to sundown, we’ve been handing out flyers, we’ve been making phone calls, we’ve been doing everything we can on social media to get the word out. We’re not going to stop until we find out what happened,” Freeman said.

Kenneth is described as a young white male, 5’7″, 120 lbs, with brown eyes and brown hair.

Anyone with information on Kenneth’s whereabouts is asked to call Houston police at (713) 884-3131 or the Houston Police Department’s Missing Persons Unit at (832) 394-1840.
