Kevin Dycus vanished from his parents home under mysterious circumstances in January 1998
Kevin James Dycus went missing from Glendale, Arizona in January 1998. The 37-year-old Seattle resident had only arrived in Glendale just 3 days before to help his father take care of his ailing mother.
His body has never been found. The police report was only 11 pages long and provided minimal information
His uncle William Urbank picked him up from Sky Harbor airport and took him to his parents’ home in the 5200 block of West Ironwood Drive.
On Sunday January 11, Kevin left the residence drunk on foot, in an unknown direction. He left his money, identification, and belongings behind. He may have been headed to a church.
His sister Anita arrived in Arizona from Washington 6 months after Kevin went missing. She tried reporting him as a missing person, but Glendale PD refused to investigate because he was an adult.
Kevin was not listed as a missing person until June 2006, over 8 years after he was last seen alive.
His mother and sister Anita have passed away. His father Ray and sister Julanne moved to Tucson. Ray died in 2010. His uncle William “Bill” Urbank has also passed away.
The area of Glendale that Kevin went missing from is a working-class area. A Circle K and a since shuttered and demolished horse ranch were up the road on 51st avenue and Peoria. There was a church in the 5400 block of west Peoria Ave. Two grocery stores and shops were at the next major intersection southbound on Olive Ave.
The police report did specify that Kevin’s dental records were retrieved from a dentist in Washington.
Kevin was born on Dec 30, 1960. He was described as 5’8 and 140-160 pounds. He had brown hair and blue eyes. Both his ears were pieced, and he had a small scar near his eyebrows.
